ENOD11 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_3G415670, the barrel medic gene ENOD11 on chromosome 3, encodes a proline-rich cell wall protein that is a structural constituent of the cell wall. The gene is associated with nodulation, nitrogen fixation, root hair tip growth and elongation, organogenesis, cell communication, signal transduction, secretion, quorum sensing, cytokinin signaling, regulation of gene expression, and the response to salt and salinity. Its product localises to the extracellular region. The gene has also been connected to root length. Studies of related genes in other species, including ENOD10, PRP1, and PRP2, link the family to similar processes, though these associations are not yet established in barrel medic.
