AKR — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_5G023090 (MtAKR) encodes a protein containing ankyrin repeats and is annotated with DXP-synthase activity, fatty-acyl-CoA binding, voltage-sensitive potassium channel activity, and ubiquitin-protein transferase activity. The gene is associated with strigolactone and terpenoid anabolism, the MEP pathway, chlorophyll anabolism, pigmentation, nitrogen fixation, nodulation, arbuscular mycorrhizae formation, response to symbiotic bacteria and fungi, leaf senescence, membrane polarization, hypersensitivity, and salt response. It is linked to traits including variegated leaf, photosynthetic rate, chloroplast development, chlorophyll content, and plant growth and development. The protein localises to the periarbuscular membrane, ER membrane, plasmalemma, cytosol, and nucleus. Related genes in other species are linked to chloroplast differentiation, photosynthesis rate, and embryo development.
