KAS — Capsicum annuum
Summary
CaKAS (T459_19896) on pepper chromosome 7 encodes a beta-ketoacyl-ACP synthase, a 3-oxoacyl-ACP synthase-2 family protein with ketoacyl-ACP synthase activity. This gene is associated with fatty acid anabolism, secondary metabolism, thylakoid membrane organization, fruit development, and chewing. It has been linked to pungency, mitochondrial protein lipoylation, and photorespiration. The encoded protein localizes to mitochondria. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis, shoot system growth, plant dry weight, and photochemical quenching.
