ENP — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.5HG0513170, designated HvENP, encodes a protein containing NPH3/RPT2-like and BTB/POZ domains. In barley, the gene is associated with auxin transport, gibberellin biosynthesis, cholesterol and fatty acid anabolism, lipid metabolism, fermentation, water transport, PH reduction, syngamy, and protein ubiquitination. It has also been linked to root shape, root number, root length, leaf shape, seed germination, and salt tolerance (SALTTL). Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to additional aspects of lipid metabolism and development.
