CPH — Cicer arietinum
Summary
LOC101497864 (CaCPH, also known as CaSMT1) encodes a methyltransferase with sterol 24C-methyltransferase and tocopherol C-methyltransferase activities, belonging to the Erg6_SMT_methyltransf family. The gene is associated with sterol and vitamin E biosynthesis, steroidogenesis, and regulation of cell differentiation and division. It has been linked to guard cell fate commitment, guard mother cell differentiation, and responses to low humidity. Associations with embryo development, seed dormancy, and alkaloid metabolism have also been noted. The encoded protein localizes to the chloroplast inner membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, plastid, nucleus, and plasmodesmata. Trait associations include starch content and digestibility. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to fertility, growth, cell wall integrity, calcium sensitivity, and embryogenesis.
