RBCL — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvRBCL (BVRB_029470) on sugar beet chromosome 115847 encodes a protein with RuBisCO_lsu_C and RuBisCO domains. The gene product possesses RuBisCO activity, monooxygenase activity and binds magnesium. BvRBCL is associated with the reductive pentose-phosphate cycle, photorespiration, leaf development and photosynthetic rate. The protein localises to the chloroplast. Studies of related genes in other species link the RuBisCO large subunit family to traits including photosynthetic ability, net photosynthetic rate, quantum yield, seedling vigour, heterosis, carbohydrate and protein content, plant height, and chlorophyll content.
