FD1 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

CaFD1 (LOC101490186) on chickpea chromosome 6 encodes a ferredoxin family protein with a 2Fe-2S cluster binding domain and phytochromobilin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase activity. The gene is associated with photosynthetic electron transport in photosystem I, the chloroplast-nucleus signaling pathway, photoacclimation, and carotenoid anabolism. It has been linked to traits including photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, drought tolerance, bacterial blight disease resistance, heat stress tolerance, flowering time, germination rate, and abscisic acid sensitivity. The product localizes to the chloroplast thylakoid membrane and stroma. Related genes in other species connect the ferredoxin family to cyclic electron flow, photosystem I protection, and fluctuating light tolerance.
