PSI — Capsicum annuum

Summary

CaPSI (T459_27897) on pepper chromosome 11 encodes a chlorophyll-binding protein of the PSII_PsbB family, corresponding to the CP47 reaction centre component of Photosystem II. The gene is associated with photosynthetic electron transport in Photosystem II, nonphotochemical quenching, and localises to the photosystem II complex, thylakoid, and chloroplast thylakoid membrane. It is also associated with digestion and homeostasis. Trait associations include glucose content and photochemical quenching. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to rubisco content and protein content.
