Summary

LOC101494064 (symbol map) on chickpea chromosome 7 encodes a protein with an Atg8-like domain and a ubiquitin-like domain, and is annotated with phosphatidylethanolamine binding activity. The gene is associated with autophagy, mitophagy, protein transport, the metabolic burst, cellular response to nitrogen starvation, and defence response to fungi. Its product localises to the cytoplasmic vesicle, microtubule, and tonoplast. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to autophagy-related processes and germination ratio.
