EPSPS — Sorghum bicolor
Summary
SORBI_3010G023800 (SbEPSPS) on sorghum chromosome 10 encodes a 3-phosphoshikimate 1-carboxyvinyltransferase (EC 2.5.1.19), the EPSP synthase enzyme of the shikimate pathway. The gene is associated with aromatic amino acid biosynthesis, response to herbicide, Roundup metabolism, green leaf volatile biosynthesis, and circadian rhythm. Its product localises to the chloroplast stroma. SbEPSPS is linked to shoot fresh weight and indole-3-acetic acid content. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to glyphosate sensitivity and tolerance, grain yield and weight, plant height, seedling vigor, seed germination, days to maturity, lignin content, auxin content, stomatal resistance, photochemical quenching, root morphology, and heterosis.
