ENP — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.2HG0207070 (HvENP) encodes a protein with an NPH3/RPT2-like domain and a BTB/POZ domain, and is annotated with blue light photoreceptor activity, FMN binding, and protein kinase activity. The gene is associated with a wide range of biological processes including auxin transport, chloroplast accumulation movement, root hair cell differentiation, and gibberellin biosynthesis. It has been linked to traits such as shoot axis phototropism, root shape, leaf yellowing tolerance, seed yield, biomass yield, and responses to blue and red light. Localisation evidence connects the product to the plasma membrane, vesicles, and ubiquitin ligase complexes. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to phototropism, chloroplast migration, and grain yield.
