CIARC_P029 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

CIARC_P029 (symbol ACCD, also known as accD) in chickpea (Cicer arietinum, chromosome NC_011163.1) encodes a protein with acetyl-CoA carboxylase and carboxyl- or carbamoyltransferase activity that binds ATP and zinc, and contains acetyl-CoA carboxylase beta and related domains. The product is part of the ACCase complex and localises to the chloroplast and chromoplast stroma. In chickpea, ACCD is associated with malonyl-CoA and fatty acid biosynthesis, nodulation, and chlorophyll content. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to pollen fertility, stomatal resistance, and salt tolerance, though these associations are not yet established in chickpea.
