ENP — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.7HG0702520, designated HvENP on barley chromosome 7H, encodes a protein containing NPH3/RPT2-like and BTB/POZ domains. This gene is associated with diverse biological processes including auxin transport, gibberellin biosynthesis, cholesterol and fatty acid anabolism, lipid metabolism, protein ubiquitination, fermentation, water transport, pH reduction, and syngamy. It has been linked to several agronomically relevant traits such as root shape, root number, root length, leaf shape, seed germination, and salt tolerance (SALTTL). Related genes in other species, such as CPT1, share sequence similarity with this family.
