psbA — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BVRB_9G224890 (psbA) in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris) on chromosome Bvchr9_un.sca004 encodes the Photosystem II protein D1. The product possesses oxidoreductase activity acting on diphenols with oxygen as acceptor, oxygen-evolving activity, chlorophyll binding, electron transfer activity, iron binding, redox activity, and metal binding. It is localised to the photosystem II complex and the chloroplast thylakoid membrane. The gene is associated with photosynthetic electron transport in photosystem II, dark adaptation, proline metabolism, response to herbicide, and chlorophyll fluorescence. It has been linked to specific leaf weight, leaf weight, net photosynthetic rate, and photosynthetic rate. Related genes in other species connect the family to the enzyme classification 1.10.3.9.
