SHD — Cicer arietinum

Summary

CaSHD (LOC101497414) on chickpea chromosome 4 encodes a member of the Hsp90 family, containing Hsp90_N, Hsp90_C, and HATPase domains, and is annotated with ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone activity. The gene is associated with the endoplasmic reticulum lumen and linked to ER stress response, protein stabilization, and protein secretion. It is associated with long-chain fatty acid metabolism, fatty acid beta-oxidation, sterol anabolism, and jasmonic acid anabolism, as well as defense response to insects. Associations with traits include drought tolerance, salt stress tolerance, flowering time, seed set percent, seed viability, pollen fertility, root development, and floral organ morphology. Related genes in other species link the family to thermotolerance, salt tolerance, endoplasmic reticulum function, and telomere length regulation.
