LOC101491931 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101491931 on chickpea chromosome 7 encodes a lipoxygenase, as indicated by its multiple lipoxygenase and PLAT/LH2 domains and its annotated linolenate 9R-lipoxygenase, linoleate 9S-lipoxygenase and linoleate 13S-lipoxygenase activities, together with oxidoreductase and iron-binding molecular functions. The gene is associated with oxylipin and aflatoxin anabolism, lipid and fatty acid oxidation, the ascorbate-glutathione cycle, cellular respiration, fermentation, starch metabolism, protein denaturation and polymerization, cold acclimation, pollen germination, and response to stress. It is linked to traits including drought tolerance, salt tolerance, seed viability, and contents of starch, protein, chlorophyll, selenium, and root length. The encoded protein localises to the cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to EC 1.13.11.58 and EC 1.13.11.12 activities.
