PHAVU_009G188366 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_009G188366, on French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) chromosome 9, encodes a photosystem I PsaJ subunit, a component of the PSI reaction centre. The gene is annotated to the biological process of photosynthesis (GO:0015979) and its product localises to the photosystem I complex and the chloroplast thylakoid membrane. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to the assembly and stability of photosystem I, though this specific function is not yet established in French bean. The gene is also related to soybean homologues GLYMA_15G126100v4 and GLYMA_12G232400v4, suggesting conserved roles across legumes.
