PEP — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.3HG0230930 (HvPEP) on barley chromosome 3H encodes a very-long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase (EC 4.2.1.134) of the Tyr_Pase-like_PTPLA family. The gene is associated with very-long-chain fatty acid and sphingolipid biosynthesis, suberin and cutin development, and fatty acid elongation complex localisation. It has been linked to cell cycle regulation, guard mother cell division, trichome papilla formation, and embryonic pattern specification. Associations with traits include drought and salt tolerance, root morphology and thickness, meristem development, plant male sterility, photosynthetic rate, quantum yield, and respiration rate. The gene is also connected to cell proliferation, auxin transport, cuticular wax accumulation, and epicuticular wax deposition. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to very-long-chain fatty acid synthesis, cuticular wax formation, cell cycle control, and nematode resistance.
