ENP — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.5HG0464130, designated 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. In barley, HvENP is associated with apical protein localization, auxin polar transport, chloroplast accumulation movement, and basipetal auxin transport. The gene is linked to phototropism, root shape, leaf yellowing tolerance, seed yield, biomass yield, and responses to blue and red light. It is also associated with gibberellin and brassinosteroid signalling, root hair differentiation, and plant organ morphogenesis. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to phototropism, chloroplast migration, and organogenesis, and to coleoptile phototropism.
