Gene Details:
- Gene ID:
- Gene Symbol: LeGPAT
- Gene Name: glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase
- Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
- Species: Solanum lycopersicum
Functional Descriptions:
- A tomato (Solanum lycopersicum Mill.) glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase gene (LeGPAT) was isolated.
- The deduced amino acid sequence revealed that LeGPAT contained four acyltransferase domains, showing high identities with GPAT in other plant species.
- Overexpression of LeGPAT increased total activity of LeGPAT and cis-unsaturated fatty acids in PG in thylakoid membrane.
- These results indicate that overexpression of LeGPAT increased the levels of PG cis-unsaturated fatty acids in thylakoid membrane, which was beneficial for the recovery of chilling-induced PS I photoinhibition in tomato.
