TAIR Computational Description | chloroplast beta-amylase;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a beta-amylase targeted to the chloroplast. Transgenic BMY8 RNAi lines fail to accumulate maltose during cold shock suggesting that maltose accumulation coincides with BMY8 expression. Apart from maltose, the sugar content of the RNAi lines were similar to wildtype (glucose and sucrose unaffected).BAM3 activity declines 2 and 4 days after start of cold stress despite an increase in transcript levels. BAM3 activity has a lower temperature optimum than BAM1 (PMID:25293962). |
