GLN — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvGLN (BVRB_9G203080) on sugar beet chromosome 9 encodes a protein with glutamine synthetase catalytic and N-terminal domains and is annotated with glutamine synthetase activity, glutamate-tRNA ligase activity, histone H3K18 acetyltransferase activity, double-stranded methylated DNA binding, salicylic acid binding, acyltransferase activity, histone acetylase activity, SUMO transferase activity, histone binding, SUMO binding, copper binding, calmodulin binding, and kinase binding. The gene is associated with the ammonia assimilation cycle, glutamyl-tRNA aminoacylation, nitrate assimilation, negative regulation of cellulose anabolism, RdDM, response to cadmium, blue light response, upregulation of flower development, membrane transport, sumoylation, regulation of gene expression, leaf senescence, leaf development, ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis, ABA signaling, protein autophosphorylation, and embryo development ending in seed dormancy. It is linked to traits including starch grain synthesis, respiration rate, light response, photoperiod-sensitive flowering time, photosynthetic rate, hypocotyl morphology, leaf senescence, stomatal opening, and abscisic acid sensitivity. Phenotypic associations include root development, root senescence, ammonium metabolism, glutamine synthesis, nitrogen remobilisation, pollen viability, seed yield, vegetative growth, seed germination, nitrogen starvation response, glutamate metabolism, ammonium response, glutamine synthesis efficiency, nitrogen metabolism, germination, rosette biomass,
