Name | plastidic pyruvate kinase beta subunit 1 | Brief Description | plastidic pyruvate kinase beta subunit 1 |
TAIR Computational Description | plastidic pyruvate kinase beta subunit 1;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | encodes a dominant chloroplast pyruvate kinase beta subunit. Important for seed oil biosynthesis. Ubiquitously expressed, with significantly increased expression in maturing seeds. The mutant plant has wrinkled seeds, with a 50-70% reduction in seed fatty acid content. The mRNA is cell-to-cell mobile. |
