CLP — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.3HG0316110 (HvCLP) on barley chromosome 3H encodes a protein with xylanase inhibitor I-like and aspartic peptidase A1 domains, and is annotated with chitinase, aspartic endopeptidase, enzyme inhibitor, nutrient reservoir, and IgE-binding activities. The gene is associated with downregulation of enzyme activity, chitin breakdown, polysaccharide breakdown, protein breakdown, chlorophyll breakdown, leaf senescence, cell death, defence response to fungi, shoot development, and root development. It is linked to the apoplast and extracellular regions. HvCLP is associated with photosynthetic rate and stress-related calcium signalling. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to grain yield, drought tolerance, disease tolerance, seed shape, starch content, plant height, root length, leaf drying, and net photosynthetic rate.
