| Subcellular location: | Plastid, chloroplast {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14729919}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Highly expressed in seedlings, roots, stems, flowers and leaves. Lower expression in siliques. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14729919}. | |
| Developmental stage: | Down-regulated during senescence. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14729919}. | |
| Induction: | Not induced by pathogen infection, but down-regulated by dark treatment. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14729919}. | |
| Disruption phenotype: | Embryonic lethality. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14729919}. | |
