ACP — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA029356 (symbol ACP, also known as OiACP) on chromosome 9 of Indica rice encodes a protein with a chloroplastic ACP domain and phosphopantetheine binding site, and has acyl carrier activity. The gene is associated with fatty acid and unsaturated fatty acid anabolism, phosphatidic acid metabolism, cuticle anabolism, lipid metabolism, homeostasis, and responses to heat, light, and salinity. The product localizes to the chloroplast envelope, stroma, and cytosol. Associations include seed shape, heat tolerance, light response, chloroplast lipid biosynthesis, fatty acid composition, abiotic stress tolerance, salicylic acid content, and lipid content. Related genes in other species link the family to drought tolerance, salt stress tolerance, abscisic acid response, phosphate starvation response, systemic acquired resistance, and photosynthetic efficiency.
