ACP — Glycine max

Summary

GmACP (GLYMA_20G230100V4) on soybean chromosome 20 encodes an acyl carrier protein with a chloroplastic ACP domain and phosphopantetheine binding activity, enabling acyl carrier activity. This gene is associated with fatty acid anabolism, elongation, and composition, including stearic, palmitic, oleic, and linolenic acid content, as well as jasmonic and salicylic acid levels. It has been linked to abiotic stress tolerance, root length, phosphorus uptake, and starch content. Localization evidence places the product in the chloroplast stroma. Related genes in other species connect the family to drought and salt stress tolerance, phosphate starvation response, and abscisic acid response, as well as pattern-triggered immunity.
