BS16M — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

A4U43_C05F35410 (BS16M) in asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) on chromosome 5 encodes a ribosomal S16 family protein, specifically a structural constituent of the ribosome with mRNA binding activity. The gene is associated with mitochondrial translation and translation, and its product localizes to the small ribosomal subunit, ribosome, chloroplast envelope, plastid, mitochondria, and plasmalemma. BS16M is associated with embryo development ending in seed dormancy and with photosynthetic rate, specifically CO2-related processes. Related genes in other species link the family to net photosynthetic rate, plant embryo development, and stomatal resistance.
