petA — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUB05G22200S (symbol petA) on Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) chromosome B05 encodes cytochrome f, with electron transfer activity, iron binding, and heme binding. The protein localises to the chloroplast thylakoid membrane and is associated with photoprotection, chlorophyll fluorescence, and photosynthesis. In this species, petA is linked to photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, and salt tolerance (SALTTL). Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to leaf nitrogen content, net photosynthetic rate, relative growth rate, and stomatal resistance, though these associations are not yet established in B. juncea.
