RBCS — Nicotiana attenuata
Summary
A4A49_09526 (RBCS) on chromosome 7 of coyote tobacco encodes a RuBisCO small subunit, a component of the central carbon-fixing enzyme. The gene is associated with RuBisCO assembly, the Calvin cycle, photorespiration, and the reductive pentose-phosphate pathway. It is linked to photosynthesis regulation, nonphotochemical quenching, the xanthophyll cycle, chloroplast fission, and protein import into chloroplasts. Associations with traits include rubisco content, specific leaf weight, water use efficiency, quantum yield, transpiration rate, and responses to high and low temperature stress, boron, zinc, and ethylene. The gene is also connected to shoot morphogenesis, meristem identity, and chloroplast development. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to photosynthetic capacity, chilling tolerance, and leaf chlorophyll content.
