HSFB2C — Cicer arietinum

Summary

HSFB2C (also known as HSFB2A) on chickpea chromosome 8 encodes a protein with a heat shock factor DNA-binding domain and a winged helix-like DNA-binding domain, and has DNA binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding, identical protein binding, transcription cis-regulatory region binding, pigment binding, transcription corepressor activity, histidine kinase binding, salicylic acid binding, poly(U) binding, calcium ion binding, protein binding, mRNA binding, and protein homodimerization activity. It is associated with cellular response to heat, regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, DNA-dependent transcription, phytoalexin biosynthesis, primary metabolism, mannose metabolism, glutamate metabolism, CoA biosynthesis, response to low light intensity stimulus, photosynthesis (light harvesting in photosystem I), pentose-phosphate shunt, negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, photosynthesis (light reaction), TCA cycle, gibberellic acid homeostasis, embryo shoot apical meristem specification, response to high light intensity, and vascular tissue pattern formation. The gene is linked to traits including light quality response, relative root length, plant nutrient response trait, shoot apical meristem development, light intensity response, brassinosteroid sensitivity, jasmonic acid content, high temperature stress response, plant embryo development trait, hypocotyl morphology trait, root morphology trait, SALTTL, flowering time trait, plant growth and development trait, and disease tolerance.
