rbcL — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BVRB_3G057650 (rbcL) on sugar beet chromosome 3 encodes a protein with RuBisCO and monooxygenase activities that binds magnesium. This gene is associated with the reductive pentose-phosphate cycle, photorespiration, leaf development, and chloroplast localisation. In sugar beet, rbcL is linked to photosynthetic rate. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to traits including rubisco content, seedling vigor, fruit color, quantum yield, net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, sugar content, stomatal resistance, chlorophyll content, and photochemical quenching.
