BAM5 — Medicago truncatula
Summary
MTR_4G045667, symbol BAM5 (MtBAM5), encodes a beta-amylase enzyme with beta-amylase activity and identical protein binding capability, belonging to the glycosyl hydrolase family 14. In barrel medic, this gene is associated with starch and polysaccharide breakdown, nodulation, hyphopodium formation, pigmentation, response to herbivore, strigolactone and cutin anabolism, lipogenesis, morphogenesis, and vision. It is linked to leaf starch degradation and localises to secretory vesicles and the extracellular region. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to sugar, sucrose, starch, and protein content, biomass yield, leaf shape, germination rate, plant height, and altered starch accumulation after cold shock.
