CCR1 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101497779 (CaCCR1) on chickpea chromosome 1 encodes a protein with cinnamoyl-CoA reductase activity, oxidoreductase activity acting on the CH-OH group of donors with NAD or NADP as acceptor, dihydroflavanol 4-reductase activity, and flavanone 4-reductase activity. The protein contains NAD(P)-binding and epimerase/dehydratase domains. CaCCR1 is associated with lignin anabolism, phenylpropanoid anabolism, anthocyanin anabolism, green leaf volatile biosynthetic process, secondary metabolism, response to cold, defense response, circadian rhythm, downregulation of circadian rhythm, signal transduction, protein metabolism, secretion, and homeostasis. It is linked to plant height, male sterility, senescence, salt tolerance, saccharification yield, sinapoyl malate accumulation, coumarin accumulation, lignin biosynthesis, cold stress response, drought response, chloroplast development, etioplast development, plastid biogenesis, leaf virescence, plant growth, secondary cell wall morphology, lignification, and immunity. It localizes to the cytoplasm. Related genes in other species link the family to cell wall structure, cell wall degradability, stem physical properties, collapsed xylem, dwarf with dark green leaves, reduced fertility, and disease resistance.
