MATE — Cicer arietinum
Summary
CaMATE (LOC101497782) on chickpea chromosome 1 encodes a MATE family protein with a DinF-like domain and citrate transmembrane transporter activity. The gene is associated with citrate transport, acid secretion, pigmentation, and response to aluminum, and its product localises to the plasmalemma and root hairs. CaMATE has been connected to seed color and seed coat color traits, as well as aluminum resistance. Studies of related genes in other species link the MATE family to aluminum tolerance, drought tolerance, seed weight, root morphology, and flower color.
