ICL — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris
Summary
BvICL (BVRB_8G191840) on sugar beet chromosome 8 encodes a protein with isocitrate lyase activity, placing it in the glyoxylate cycle enzyme family. The gene is associated with the glyoxylate cycle, TCA cycle, lipolysis, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, detoxification, phloem transport, stress response, embryogenesis, leaf vascular tissue pattern formation, auxin and brassinosteroid signalling, and signal transduction. It has been linked to seedling vigor, leaf vein morphology, respiration rate, auxin sensitivity, seed growth and development, and plant growth and development traits. Associations with peroxisomal protein import, seed germination, root elongation, fertility, premature senescence, leaf cell death, abnormal leaf venation, and vascular development have also been noted. Studies of related genes in other species connect the ICL family to postgerminative growth, lipid utilization, and peroxisomal function.
