CIARC_P050 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

CIARC_P050 (petD) in chickpea (Cicer arietinum) on chromosome NC_011163.1 encodes a subunit of the cytochrome b6/f complex, a component of the photosynthetic electron transport chain. The protein belongs to the cytochrome b/b6 C-terminal domain family and exhibits electron transfer and redox activity. It is localized to the chloroplast thylakoid membrane. The gene is associated with photosynthesis and the photosynthetic electron transport chain, as annotated by Gene Ontology terms. Studies of related genes in other species link the petD family to similar roles in photosynthetic electron transport, though this is not directly established in chickpea.
