HL — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_008064 (HL, DcHL) on carrot chromosome 2 encodes a protein with inositol monophosphatase-like domains and 3'(2'),5'-bisphosphate nucleotidase activity, also binding metals. This gene is associated with root development, defense response, fermentation, butanediol anabolism, quorum sensing, sulfate assimilation, PIP biosynthesis, and NO storage. It is linked to drought tolerance, proline accumulation, and stem mechanical properties. The protein localizes to the cytoplasm and is also associated with nuclear localization and cellular localization. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to abiotic stress tolerance, sulfur metabolism, and abscisic acid sensitivity, while related genes in other species connect it to trichome morphology.
