ACP — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_18G244300V4 (GmACP, also known as GmACP2 or GmMTACP2) on soybean chromosome 18 encodes an acyl carrier protein (ACP) with acyl carrier activity, ubiquinone reductase activity, and protein kinase activity. This gene is associated with stearic acid content, palmitic acid content, oleic acid content, starch content, and lipogenesis. It is linked to abscisic acid sensitivity, salt tolerance, manganese sensitivity, and disease tolerance. Additional associations include stomatal complex closure time, root thickness, and regulation of pollen tube growth. The encoded protein localizes to mitochondria, the respiratory chain complex I, cytosol, and plasmalemma. Related genes in other species link the family to seed weight, embryo development, and plant growth.
