CLA — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

A4A49_02394 (CLA, TKT2) in Nicotiana attenuata on chromosome 9 encodes a protein with transketolase domains and DXP-synthase activity. The gene is associated with regulation of isopentenyl diphosphate biosynthetic process, mevalonate-independent pathway, malonyl-CoA breakdown, thiamin anabolism, NAD anabolism, and the pyruvate dehydrogenase pathway. It is linked to shoot system growth and development, plastid development, chloroplast development, seed protein content, seed size, seed yield, photosynthetic rate, and high temperature stress and abiotic plant stress response. Additional associations include defense response, volatile organic compound synthesis, drought response, and vacuolar sugar accumulation. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to carotenoid content, fruit traits, tuber dormancy, herbivore resistance, and chloroplast differentiation.
