CIARC_P010 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

CIARC_P010 (ycf3) in chickpea (Cicer arietinum) on chromosome NC_011163.1 encodes a photosystem I assembly protein Ycf3, belonging to the Ycf3/AcsC/BcsC/TPR_MFPF family with tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domains. The gene is annotated to the biological process of photosystem I assembly and is associated with the chloroplast thylakoid membrane. Studies of related genes in other species link the Ycf3 family to photosystem I assembly. No direct evidence in chickpea connects ycf3 to agronomic traits such as yield or stress tolerance, but its association with chloroplast thylakoid membrane localization and photosystem I assembly is established through ontology annotations.
