BHLH — Cicer arietinum
Summary
LOC101491860 (CaBHLH) on chickpea chromosome 4 encodes a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) DNA-binding superfamily protein with protein dimerization activity and DNA-binding transcription factor activity. It is localized to the nucleus and is associated with shoot development and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. The gene has been linked to decreased cold tolerance and increased osmotic stress sensitivity. Related genes in other species connect this gene family to iron assimilation, cell proliferation, and tissue development. Through sequence similarity, the family has also been associated with drought tolerance, root morphology traits, and plant embryo development.
