ACP — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_03G242600V4, designated GmACP, encodes an acyl carrier protein with a chloroplastic ACP domain and phosphopantetheine binding and acyl carrier activity. This soybean gene on chromosome 3 is associated with stearic acid content, palmitic acid content, oleic acid content, starch content, phosphorus uptake, and root length. It is linked to fatty acid composition, jasmonic acid content, linolenic acid content, salicylic acid content, and abiotic stress tolerance. The gene is localized to the chloroplast stroma and is associated with protein acylation, fatty acid elongation, lipogenesis, and phosphatidylcholine anabolism. Related genes in other species link the family to drought tolerance, salt stress response, phosphate starvation response, and oxidative stress response, and to pattern-triggered immunity.
