RBCS — Zea mays

Summary

ZmRBCS (ZM00001EB197410) on maize chromosome 4 encodes a protein containing RuBisCO small subunit domains and is associated with RuBisCO activity, as well as histone acetylase activity, double-stranded methylated DNA binding, protein folding chaperone, ubiquitin ligase binding, salicylic acid binding, acyltransferase activity, copper binding, calmodulin binding, ubiquitin-protein transferase activity, and other molecular functions. The gene is linked to leaf area duration, specific leaf area, carbon isotope discrimination, leaf thickness, relative chlorophyll content, boron sensitivity, leaf area index, canopy temperature, rootless, stem diameter, total soluble sugar content, leaf relative water content, seedling vigor, culm diameter, leaf temperature, shoot dry weight, leaf vein morphology trait, relative growth rate, light response trait, zinc sensitivity, crop stand, sucrose content, grain filling period, meristem tissue development trait, inflorescence morphology trait, herbicide sensitivity, drought sensitivity, leaf color, biomass yield, plant tissue development trait, and other traits. It is associated with mild growth defect under high light stress, CO2 assimilation, reactive oxygen species accumulation, gametogenesis, leaf size, nitrogen use efficiency, male gametophyte degeneration, dwarf plant, male and female gametophyte lethal, light sensitivity, male gametophyte development, gametophyte development, female gametophyte development, cell cycle progression, boron tolerance, boron stress tolerance, abscisic
