ACP — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvACP (BVRB_5G113270) encodes an acyl carrier protein with a chloroplastic ACP domain and phosphopantetheine binding and acyl carrier activity. In sugar beet, this gene is associated with fatty acid anabolism, phosphatidic acid metabolism, cuticle anabolism, and regulation of fatty acid anabolism. It has been linked to chloroplast envelope and stroma localisation, as well as cytosol. Associations include response to light stimulus, salinity response, cell growth, cell division, systemic acquired resistance, and biofilm formation. Phenotypic connections involve fatty acid composition, jasmonic acid content, salicylic acid content, abiotic stress tolerance, chloroplast lipid metabolism, light response, and light-responsive gene expression. Studies of related genes in other species link the ACP family to seed maturation, leaf weight, fruit weight, root length, anthocyanin content, and responses to salt, drought, abscisic acid, phosphate starvation, and oxidative stress, as well as photosynthetic efficiency and pattern-triggered immunity.
