PSI — Capsicum annuum

Summary

CaPSI (T459_19725) on pepper chromosome 7 encodes a chlorophyll-binding protein of the PSII_PsbB family, corresponding to the CP47 reaction centre component of Photosystem II. The gene is annotated to photosynthetic electron transport in photosystem II, nonphotochemical quenching, and localisation to the photosystem II complex, thylakoid, and chloroplast thylakoid membrane. It is associated with glucose content and photochemical quenching. Studies of related sequences in other species link the family to rubisco content and protein content.
