ACS6 — triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS7D02G060600, also known as TaACS10 or ACS6, encodes an aminotransferase class I/class II large domain-containing protein with 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase activity, transaminase activity, pyridoxal phosphate binding, lyase activity, and redox activity. This bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) gene on chromosome 7D is associated with ethylene anabolism, amino acid metabolic process, fruit ripening, chloroplast organization, and defense response. It localizes to the amyloplast membrane. The gene has been associated with traits including mycotoxin content, root volume, root length, root development, transpiration rate, drought tolerance, and plant stress response. Related genes in other species link the family to 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase activity (EC 4.4.1.14).
