RBCS — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsRBCS (PSAT3G205000) on chromosome 3LG5 encodes a protein with RuBisCO_ssu domains and RuBisCO activity. The gene is associated with RuBisCO assembly, the Calvin cycle, photorespiration, and carbohydrate metabolism. It is linked to photosynthetic rate, CO2 assimilation, chloroplast development and function, and responses to high light, temperature stress, oxidative stress, and salinity. Associations also include leaf vein morphology, meristem and root development, flowering time, disease tolerance, and nitrogen use efficiency. The product localises to the thylakoid lumen and membrane, chloroplast envelope, and stress granules. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to photosynthetic capacity, photoinhibition, temperature stress tolerance, and immune response.
