AS11 — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

A4U43_C01F23940 (AS11) in asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) on chromosome 1 encodes a protein with a diacylglycerol acyltransferase domain and is a member of the MBOAT family. This gene is associated with diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase activity and protein binding. It is linked to triglyceride anabolism, glycerol and carbohydrate metabolism, regulation of seed germination and embryonic development, response to abscisic acid, cold, salinity, and glucose, and plant organ development. It localizes to the adiposome, ER membrane, chloroplast envelope, membrane, and nucleus. Associations include fatty acid content and composition, triacylglycerol biosynthesis and accumulation, seed mass, leaf senescence, CO2 assimilation, pollen and stamen development, fruit ripening, and osmotic stress tolerance. Related genes in other species are linked to seed oil content, freezing tolerance, and lipid accumulation.
