I57 — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.6HG0629790 (HvI57) on barley chromosome 6H encodes a thiolase family protein with acetyl-CoA C-acetyltransferase activity (EC 2.3.1.16) and 3-ketothiolase activity. The gene is associated with fatty acid beta-oxidation, jasmonic acid anabolism, green leaf volatile biosynthetic process, glyoxysome organization, citrate secretion and transport, sterol metabolism, demethylation, detoxification, and upregulation of abscisic acid mediated signaling. It has been linked to acid soil tolerance, aluminum tolerance, manganese concentration, leaf chlorosis, photosynthetic rate, and grain yield. Associations also include stomatal opening and closure, potassium transport, salt tolerance, seed yield, root length, leaf senescence, postgerminative growth, lipid mobilization, mevalonate biosynthesis, phytosterol and flavonoid biosynthesis, embryogenesis, fertility, plant stature, and apical dominance. The protein localizes to plastids, mitochondria, the ER, cytoplasm, nucleolus, plant-type vacuole, and plasmalemma.
