ACP — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsACP (PSAT6G148160) on garden pea chromosome 6LG2 encodes an acyl carrier protein with a chloroplastic ACP domain and phosphopantetheine binding site, conferring acyl carrier activity. The protein localises to the chloroplast stroma and is associated with fatty acid and lipoate biosynthesis, leaf development, and salinity response. This gene has been connected to flower and seed coat colour, fatty acid composition, jasmonic acid, linolenic acid, and salicylic acid content, as well as abiotic stress tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to drought and salt stress tolerance, abscisic acid and phosphate starvation responses, oxidative stress response, and pattern-triggered immunity. Sequence similarity further connects the family to seed weight, leaf weight, root length, starch and anthocyanin content, and phosphorus uptake.
