ACP — Glycine max

Summary

GmACP (GLYMA_19G240100V4) on soybean chromosome 19 encodes an acyl carrier protein with a chloroplastic ACP domain and phosphopantetheine binding and acyl carrier activity. The product localises to the chloroplast stroma and is associated with protein acylation, fatty acid elongation, lipogenesis, starch anabolism, sucrose metabolism, and ethylene and phosphatidylcholine anabolism. GmACP has been connected to stearic, palmitic and oleic acid content, starch content, phosphorus uptake, root length, and fatty acid composition. Phenotypic associations include jasmonic acid, linolenic acid and salicylic acid content, and abiotic stress tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to drought tolerance, salt stress response, phosphate starvation response, oxidative stress response, abscisic acid response, and pattern-triggered immunity.
