MLO — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.2HG0107940, designated Mlo3 (synonyms MLO, HvMLO10, HvMLO, MLO10) on barley chromosome 2H, encodes a calmodulin-binding membrane protein. The gene is associated with host invasion, invasive growth, cell polarization, endosomal and intracellular transport, metabolic burst, protein polyubiquitination, virus-induced PTGS, vesicle transport, immune response, leaf senescence, leaf development, programmed cell death, and innate immunity. It has been connected to leaf necrosis, leaf chlorosis, and grain yield. Related genes in other species are linked to endosperm color.
