CYP — Cicer arietinum

Summary

VfCYP, a gene on chickpea chromosome OX451740.1, encodes a protein with cyclophilin-type peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity and geraniol 10-hydroxylase activity, and belongs to the cytochrome P450 superfamily. It is associated with responses to salt, mannitol, and abscisic acid, as well as monoterpenoid, triterpenoid, and alkaloid biosynthesis. The gene has been linked to leaf necrosis, flowering time, photoperiod sensitivity, disease tolerance, aphid response, and oxidative stress response. It is also connected to water stress tolerance, seedling growth, heat stress tolerance, and cell cycle regulation. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to seed weight, root length, plant dry weight, salt response, drought response, and susceptibility to Pseudomonas syringae and Botrytis cinerea.
