GPP — Cicer arietinum

Summary

CaGPP (LOC101496687) on chickpea chromosome 1 encodes an inositol monophosphatase-like protein with L-galactose-1-phosphate phosphatase and inositol monophosphate phosphatase activities, requiring magnesium or metal binding. The gene is associated with inositol anabolism, inositol metabolism, phosphatidylinositol phosphate biosynthesis, translation initiation, regulation of seed size, seed weight, response to stress, signal transduction, homeostasis, seed germination, response to cold, myoinositol biosynthesis, ascorbic acid biosynthesis, abscisic acid response, salt stress response, flowering time, cold stress response, disease resistance, and ascorbate biosynthesis. The product localises to the cytosol, cytoplasm, and plasmalemma. Related genes in other species link the family to ascorbate deficiency, glycerol-3-phosphate metabolism, abscisic acid sensitivity, flowering time, and disease tolerance.
