ACP — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA026524 (ACP, OiACP) on Indica rice chromosome 8 encodes a protein with ACP_chloroplastic, PKS_PP-bd, PP-bd_ACP, ACP-like_sf, and Ppantetheine_attach_site domains, and is annotated with phosphopantetheine binding and acyl carrier activity. The gene is associated with phosphatidic acid metabolism, cuticle anabolism, fatty acid anabolism, unsaturated fatty acid anabolism, homeostasis, response to heat, response to light stimulus, lipid metabolism, and salinity response. The product localises to the chloroplast envelope, chloroplast stroma, and cytosol. Associations include seed shape, heat tolerance, light response, chloroplast lipid biosynthesis, chloroplast lipid metabolism, fatty acid composition, abiotic stress tolerance, salicylic acid content, and lipid content. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to stearic acid content, linolenic acid content, oleic acid content, palmitic acid content, seed weight, grain number, salt stress response, drought tolerance, abscisic acid response, systemic acquired resistance, photosynthetic efficiency, and leaf lipid content.
