| Function | Is implicated in many functions such as ABA metabolism, hydrolysis of conjugated gibberellins, conversion of storage forms of cytokinins to active forms. Also acts in defense of young plant parts against pests via the production of hydroxamic acids from hydroxamic acid glucosides. Enzymatic activity is highly correlated with plant growth. The preferred substrate is DIMBOA- beta-D-glucoside. Hydrolyzes the chromogenic substrate 6-bromo-2- naphthyl-beta-D-glucoside (6BNGlc) and various artificial aryl beta-glucosides. No activity with cellobiose, arbutin, gentiobiose, linamarin or dhurrin as substrates. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10099619, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16668611, ECO:0000269|Ref.5}. |
