CSLF6 — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.7HG0698110, designated HvCSLF6 on chromosome 7H, encodes a cellulose synthase-like protein (HvCslF6) with cellulose synthase (UDP-forming) and mannan synthase activities. The protein localises to the Golgi membrane and plasma membrane and is associated with cell wall polysaccharide and glucan anabolism, primary cell wall biogenesis, endosperm development and cellularization, cell maturation and growth, and response to cold. It is linked to grain weight, grain length, and the content of monosaccharides, polysaccharides, amylopectin, and sugar. Related genes in other species link the family to carbon isotope discrimination, stem diameter, culm diameter, amylose content, cellulose content, seed weight, lignin content, starch content, transpiration rate, root length, seed germination, grain yield, and, in rice, to cell wall composition, stem and vascular bundle traits, plant height, jasmonate responses, and resistance.
