    Lineage
    Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; malvids; Brassicales; Brassicaceae; Camelineae; Arabidopsis
    Also known as
    PYRIMIDINE R; PYRR; uracil phosphoribosyltransferase
    Summary
    Encodes UPP, a plastidial uracil phosphoribosyltransferase (UPRT) involved in uracil salvage. Loss-of-function mutation causes dramatic growth retardation, a pale-green to albino phenotype, abnormal root morphology and chloroplastic disorders.
