ENP — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.4HG0398130 (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, phototropism, chloroplast accumulation movement, root hair cell differentiation, and gibberellin biosynthesis. HvENP is linked to traits such as shoot axis phototropism, root shape, leaf yellowing tolerance, seed yield, biomass yield, and responses to blue and red light. It is also connected to phenotypes including pollen germination, root gravitropism, dwarfism with abnormal leaf venation, and PIN auxin exporter polarity. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to phototropism, chloroplast migration, and stomatal aperture opening.
