ENP — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.5HG0483030 (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 polar transport, chloroplast accumulation movement, basipetal auxin transport, gibberellin biosynthesis, and brassinosteroid signalling inhibition. It is linked to traits such as phototropism, root shape, leaf yellowing tolerance, seed yield, biomass yield, and responses to blue and red light. Localisation evidence connects the product to the CRL complex, ubiquitin ligase complex, and the apical plasma membrane. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to phototropism, chloroplast migration, and stomatal aperture opening.
