Gene Details:

• Gene ID: HORVU.MOREX.r3.7HG0713570.1
• Gene Symbol: HvGST
• Gene Name: glutathione S-transferase
• Genome: MorexV3_pseudomolecules_assembly
• Species: Hordeum vulgare

Functional Descriptions:

• HvGST plays a key role in anthocyanin accumulation in colored barley.
• Identified a glutathione S-transferase gene (HvGST) that was responsible for the blue aleurone trait in Tibetan qingke barley by performing a genome-wide association study and RNA-sequencing analysis.
• Gene variation and expression analysis indicated that HvGST also participates in the transport and accumulation of anthocyanin in purple barley.
• Haplotype and the geographic distribution analyses of HvGST alleles revealed two independent natural variants responsible for the emergence of white aleurone: a 203-bp deletion causing premature termination of translation in qingke barley and two key single nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter resulting in low transcription in Western barley.
