CLA — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

A4U43_C07F13860 (CLA, also known as AODEF) encodes a protein with DXP-synthase and transketolase domains, and is annotated with DXP-synthase, transketolase, malonyl-CoA decarboxylase, and nicotinamide-nucleotide adenylyltransferase activities. In asparagus, the gene is associated with the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway, thiamine and chlorophyll biosynthesis, regulation of photosynthesis, sex determination, response to carbon starvation, and chromatin silencing. It is linked to traits including seed protein content, seed yield and size, shoot and flower development, chloroplast development, photosynthetic rate, high temperature stress, and disease tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to carotenoid and isoprenoid biosynthesis, photosynthesis, chloroplast differentiation, drought tolerance, and tuber dormancy.
