HORVU.MOREX.R3.6HG0619650 — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.6HG0619650 (HvABF1) on barley chromosome 6H encodes a bZIP transcription factor of the BZIP46-like family, annotated with DNA-binding transcription activator activity and additional molecular functions including protein phosphatase binding and calcium-dependent kinase activity. The gene is associated with regulation of abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellin signalling, TOR signalling, nitrate assimilation, chlorophyll breakdown, and responses to pH and far-red light. It has been linked to traits including seed protein and endosperm storage protein content, inflorescence length, leaf elongation rate, vegetative vigour, and sensitivities to iron, copper, nitrogen and water stress. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to drought, salinity, cold tolerance, grain protein content, yield, and seed quality traits.
