MLO — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101494654, designated CaMLO, encodes a calmodulin-binding protein belonging to the MLO family on chickpea chromosome 8. The gene product is associated with the endomembrane system, membrane, plasmalemma, mitochondria, and cytoplasm. Annotated biological process associations include pollen tube reception, cell wall biogenesis, secondary metabolism, and defense response. Related genes in other species link the family to fertilization, female gametophytic defects, reduced fertility, pollen tube overgrowth, and calcium signaling. The gene has also been connected to miscellaneous traits and climate-related phenotypes through sequence similarity.
