BAM1 — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare
Summary
HORVU.MOREX.R3.1HG0040950 (HvBAM1) on barley chromosome 1H encodes a beta-amylase enzyme (EC 3.2.1.2) belonging to the glycoside hydrolase family 14, and also exhibits DNA-binding transcription factor activity. The gene is associated with maltose anabolism, polysaccharide breakdown, and starch degradation and accumulation. HvBAM1 has been linked to seed development, regulation of shoot development, and responses to water, cold, herbivore, and immune stimuli. It is associated with grain weight, protein content, and photosynthetic rate. Localisation evidence connects the product to the chloroplast stroma, nucleus, cytosol, endoplasmic reticulum, and extracellular space. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to starch metabolism in leaves, shoot apical meristem maintenance, and dehydration stress response.
