Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: BrLhcb1
  • Gene Name: light-harvesting complex of photosystem II 1
  • Genome:
  • Species: Brassica rapa

Functional Descriptions:

  • The increased number of grana thylakoids was associated with the upregulation of light-harvesting complex of photosystem II 1 (BrLhcb1).
  • Yeast one-hybrid and transient assay showed that the BrLhcb1 promoter was directly bound by CIRCADIAN CLOCK ASSOCIATED 1 (BrCCA1), resulting in increased BrLhcb1 expression and enhanced carbon fixation in hybrids.
  • BrCCA1 upregulates BrLhcb1, which in turn increases the number of grana thylakoids in the chloroplasts and thereby contributes to the enhanced photosynthesis in pak choi hybrids.
  • In conclusion, we found that BrLhcb1 upregulation, directly induced by BrCCA1, can increase the number of grana thylakoids in the chloroplasts, thereby contributing to enhanced photosynthesis in pak choi hybrids.
