MLO — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.7HG0636850, symbol MLO and also known as HvMLO, encodes a calmodulin-binding protein localised to the membrane. In barley, this gene is associated with host invasion, invasive growth, cell polarization, endosomal and intracellular transport, metabolic burst, protein polyubiquitination, virus-induced PTGS, immune response, leaf senescence, leaf development, programmed cell death, and innate immunity. It has also been connected to leaf necrosis, leaf chlorosis, and grain yield. Related genes in other species link it to endosperm color.
