RBCL — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_0002S0660 (RBCL) in barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) encodes a plastid-localised protein with RuBisCO activity, nucleotide binding, magnesium binding and monooxygenase activity. The gene is associated with the reductive pentose-phosphate cycle, photorespiration, nitrogen oxide storage and seed development. Studies of related genes in other species link the RBCL family to traits including spike weight, root length, drought tolerance and salt tolerance, as well as parasitic weed interactions.
