BS16M — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

A4U43_C05F35420 (symbol BS16M) in asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) on chromosome 5 encodes the 30S ribosomal protein S16, a structural constituent of the ribosome with mRNA binding activity. The gene is associated with mitochondrial translation and translation, and has been linked to embryo development ending in seed dormancy. Its product localises to the small ribosomal subunit, ribosome, chloroplast envelope, plastid, mitochondria, and plasmalemma. BS16M is associated with photosynthetic rate and embryo development. Related genes in other species are linked to net photosynthetic rate, plant embryo development, and stomatal resistance.
