FBA3 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_5G096670 (symbol FBA3, also known as MtFBA5, MtFBA7, MtDEG22) in barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) on chromosome 5 encodes a fructose-bisphosphate aldolase with aldolase class I and TIM barrel domains. The gene is associated with fructose 1,6-bisphosphate metabolism, gluconeogenesis, the pentose-phosphate shunt, and glycolytic processes. It is linked to responses to anoxia, hypoxia, and salt stress, as well as to nodulation, nitrogen fixation, root development, flavonoid metabolism, sucrose anabolism, protein synthesis, and signal transduction. The product localises to the cytosol and cytoplasm. Related genes in other species link the family to drought tolerance, seed maturation, and seed dormancy.
