CIARC_P027 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

CIARC_P027 (psbI) in chickpea (Cicer arietinum) on chromosome NC_011163.1 encodes a PsbI protein, a core subunit of the photosystem II reaction center. The gene is associated with photosynthesis (GO:0015979) and localizes to the photosystem II reaction center and the chloroplast thylakoid membrane. Studies of related genes in other species link the PsbI family to photosystem II assembly and stability, though this has not been directly established in chickpea. No agronomically relevant traits such as yield or stress tolerance have been directly connected to this gene in chickpea.
