rbcL — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD2AV1G268350 (symbol rbcL) on durum wheat chromosome 2A encodes a protein with a RuBisCO large subunit C-terminal domain and is annotated with RuBisCO activity, magnesium binding, and monooxygenase activity. It is localised to the plastid and is associated with the reductive pentose-phosphate cycle and photorespiration. This gene has been connected to photosynthetic rate, grain weight, and protein content. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to rubisco content.
