Medicago truncatula contains a second gene encoding a plastid located glutamine synthetase exclusively expressed in developing seeds.

BMC plant biology - 19 Aug 2010

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Nitrogen is a crucial nutrient that is both essential and rate limiting for plant growth and seed production. Glutamine synthetase (GS), occupies a central position in nitrogen assimilation and recycling, justifying the extensive number of studies that have been dedicated to this enzyme from several plant sources. All plants species studied to date have been reported as containing a single, nuclear...
