SHR — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101491818 (CaSHR, also known as CaEAL1 or CaSGR7) on chickpea chromosome 8 encodes a GRAS family transcription factor with sequence-specific DNA binding and protein homodimerization activity. This gene is associated with endoderm and bundle sheath cell fate specification, radial pattern formation, root morphogenesis, and regulation of root meristem size. It is linked to amyloplast organization, negative gravitropism, and regulation of seed dormancy. Associations include yield, drought tolerance, leaf relative water content, root thickness, stem senescence, and leaf growth and development. The gene product localizes to the nucleus, cytoplasm, and Golgi complex. Related genes in other species are linked to root stem cell niche specification, ground tissue formation, and shoot radial organization.
