ACP — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_10G158500V4, also known as GmACP, encodes an acyl carrier protein with a chloroplastic ACP domain and phosphopantetheine binding and acyl carrier activity. This soybean gene on chromosome 10 is associated with stearic, palmitic, and oleic acid content, as well as starch content, phosphorus uptake, and root length. It has been linked to fatty acid composition, jasmonic acid, linolenic acid, and salicylic acid content, and abiotic stress tolerance. The gene is localized to the chloroplast stroma and associated with protein acylation, fatty acid elongation, and lipogenesis. Related genes in other species link the family to drought tolerance, salt stress response, phosphate starvation response, and abscisic acid sensitivity.
