EPSPS — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

A4A49_23337 (EPSPS-1) on chromosome 1 of coyote tobacco (Nicotiana attenuata) encodes a 3-phosphoshikimate 1-carboxyvinyltransferase (EC 2.5.1.19), the EPSP synthase enzyme. This gene is associated with aromatic amino acid family anabolism, the shikimate pathway, and chloroplast localization in the stroma. It has been associated with response to herbicide, Roundup metabolism, detoxification, regeneration, green leaf volatile biosynthetic process, circadian rhythm, and protein splicing. Associations with traits include photosynthetic rate and IAA content. Related genes in other species link the EPSPS family to glyphosate tolerance and resistance, fecundity, auxin content, and aromatic metabolism.
