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.
