HORVU.MOREX.R3.1HG0095050 — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.1HG0095050 (ELF3) on barley chromosome 1H encodes an ELF3-like protein with diverse annotated molecular functions including receptor tyrosine kinase binding, phytochromobilin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase activity, histone kinase activity, auxin receptor activity, and phosphatidylethanolamine binding. The gene is associated with regulation of cellular respiration, upregulation of short-day photoperiodism and flowering, positive regulation of thermomorphogenesis, chloroplast-nucleus signaling, photoentrainment of the circadian clock, and gibberellin-mediated signaling. It has been linked to agronomically important traits including drought stress response, spot blotch resistance, photoperiod sensitivity, grain number, vegetative vigor, leaf area, and water stress response. Related genes in other species are associated with circadian regulation, photoperiod sensitivity, drought stress resistance, and heat tolerance.
