CIARC_P004 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

CIARC_P004 (ATPB, atpB) in chickpea (Cicer arietinum) on chromosome NC_011163.1 encodes a beta subunit of ATP synthase, a member of the ATPase alpha/beta chains family and the AAA+ ATPase superfamily. The gene is annotated with proton-transporting ATP synthase activity, rotational mechanism, and is associated with proton motive force-driven mitochondrial ATP synthesis. It has been linked to the chloroplast thylakoid membrane, chloroplast envelope, and the F1-F0 complex. Associations include the upregulation of long-day photoperiodism and flowering, brassinosteroid-mediated signalling, and regulation of metabolism. The gene is associated with flowering time, plant growth and development, root morphology, and stress response traits, as well as phenotypes including flowering time, meiosis, DNA methylation, cell proliferation, and hydraulic conductivity. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to cytoplasmic male sterility.
