ACCD — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_006G066900, designated PvACCD, encodes a protein with acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity and carboxyl- or carbamoyltransferase activity that binds ATP and zinc. It is part of the ACCase complex localised in the chloroplast stroma and is associated with malonyl-CoA anabolism and fatty acid anabolism. The gene is associated with the accD family. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to pollen fertility, stomatal resistance, chlorophyll content, and salt tolerance (SALTTL), though these associations are not yet established in French bean.
