ENP — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.5HG0508410, designated HvENP, encodes a protein containing an NPH3/RPT2-like domain and a BTB/POZ domain, placing it in the NPH3/RPT2-like family. In domesticated barley on chromosome 5H, this gene is associated with diverse biological processes including auxin transport, gibberellin biosynthesis, cholesterol and fatty acid anabolism, lipid metabolism, protein ubiquitination, fermentation, water transport, pH reduction, and syngamy. It has also been linked to several agronomically relevant traits such as root shape, root number, root length, leaf shape, seed germination, and salt tolerance (SALTTL). Related genes in other species, such as CPT1, share sequence similarity with this family.
