RBCS — Nicotiana attenuata

Summary

A4A49_65500 (RBCS, RBS2) encodes a RuBisCO small subunit and is annotated with RuBisCO activity. The gene is associated with the Calvin cycle, photorespiration, RuBisCO assembly, the reductive pentose-phosphate cycle, and regulation of photosynthesis. It has been linked to traits including rubisco content, specific leaf weight, water use efficiency, transpiration rate, quantum yield, chloroplast development, and responses to high and low temperature, ethylene, boron, zinc, and herbicide stress. Phenotype associations include CO2 assimilation, chilling tolerance, nitrogen use efficiency, and plant height. The gene product localises to the chloroplast thylakoid membrane, thylakoid lumen, and chloroplast envelope. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to photosynthetic capacity, photoinhibition, and thermo-resilience.
