RBCS — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_004G073400 (PvRBCS) on chromosome 4 of French bean encodes a small subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO), a protein containing the RuBisCO_ssu domain. It is annotated with RuBisCO activity and linked to RuBisCO assembly, the reductive pentose-phosphate cycle, and photorespiration. The gene is associated with photosynthetic rate, CO2 assimilation, and chloroplast development and function. It has been connected to responses to abiotic stresses including high and low temperature, oxidative stress, boron and zinc sensitivity, and salt tolerance. Additional associations include leaf vein morphology, meristem and root development, flowering time, and disease tolerance. The product localizes to the thylakoid and chloroplast envelope. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to photosynthetic capacity, photoinhibition, and temperature stress tolerance.
