rbcL — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD6AV1G182510 (symbol rbcL) on durum wheat chromosome 6A encodes a protein with a RuBisCO large subunit C-terminal domain and exhibits RuBisCO activity, magnesium binding, and monooxygenase activity. It is associated with the reductive pentose-phosphate cycle and photorespiration, and localises to the chloroplast. This gene has been linked to photosynthetic rate, grain weight, and protein content. Related genes in other species are associated with rubisco content.
