CLP — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.3HG0224850 (HvCLP) on barley chromosome 3H encodes a protein with aspartic peptidase A1 and TAXi domains, annotated with chitinase, aspartic endopeptidase, nutrient reservoir, enzyme inhibitor, IgE binding, and identical protein binding activities. The gene is associated with downregulation of enzyme activity, chitin, polysaccharide, protein, and chlorophyll breakdown, proteolysis, shoot and root development, leaf senescence, cell death, and defence responses to fungi. It is linked to the apoplast and extracellular regions, and to photosynthetic rate. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to grain yield, drought tolerance, disease tolerance, seed shape, leaf drying, net photosynthetic rate, starch content, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, root length, and plant height, as well as growth, root, lateral root, shoot, seed, starch, yield, cell wall, and disease resistance phenotypes.
