BOS1 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101490747, designated CaBOS1 (also known as CaMYB78, CaMYB108, or BOS1) on chickpea chromosome 7, encodes a protein with sequence-specific DNA binding, transcription cis-regulatory region binding, DNA binding, DNA binding transcription factor activity, protein binding, cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity, and ubiquitin-protein transferase activity. The gene is associated with positive regulation of anther dehiscence, pigment accumulation in tissues, phlobaphene biosynthetic process, cellular response to virus, and other biological processes. It has been linked to traits including disease tolerance, salt tolerance, gibberellic acid sensitivity, and flowering time. Associations with cell death regulation, Botrytis resistance, wound-induced cell death, oxidative stress tolerance, male fertility, and lateral root development have also been observed. Related genes in other species are linked to NLR receptor stability and apoptosis resistance.
