ENP — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.5HG0509260, designated HvENP, encodes a protein containing an NPH3/RPT2-like domain and a SKP1/BTB/POZ superfamily domain. In barley, this gene is associated with diverse biological processes including auxin transport, gibberellin biosynthesis, cholesterol anabolism, fatty acid anabolism, lipid metabolism, protein ubiquitination, fermentation, water transport, pH reduction, and syngamy. HvENP has also been linked to several agronomically relevant traits such as root shape, root number, root length, leaf shape, seed germination, and salt tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species, including CPT1, connect the family to additional functions, but these associations are not yet established in barley.
