GSC — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.5HG0489910 (HvGSC, also known as HSP90 or HvHSP90) on barley chromosome 5H encodes a member of the LEA-18 protein family. The gene is associated with RNA breakdown, virus-induced post-transcriptional gene silencing, proteolysis, and response to thirst. It has been linked to maturity time, stem rust, drought sensitivity, stomatal resistance, and drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to traits including heat tolerance, cold tolerance, stripe rust, grain weight, grain yield, chlorophyll content, leaf relative water content, seed dormancy, heterosis, cytokinin sensitivity and content, nitrogen recycling, plant dry weight, and growth stage.
