ENP — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.2HG0169280, designated HvENP, encodes an NPH3/RPT2-like domain-containing protein with blue light photoreceptor activity, FMN binding, and multiple kinase activities including protein serine/threonine kinase activity. The gene is associated with diverse biological processes such as apical protein localization, auxin polar transport, chloroplast accumulation movement, basipetal auxin transport, and plant organ morphogenesis. It is linked to responses to red or far-red light, brassinosteroid signaling inhibition, and gibberellin biosynthesis. Associations with agronomically relevant traits include seed yield, biomass yield, root number and length, leaf shape, phototropism responses, and viral disease response. The protein localizes to the apical plasma membrane, CRL complex, and ubiquitin ligase complex. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to phototropism, chloroplast migration, and root growth.
