SUB — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101499325, designated CaSUB (also known as CaMYB39), encodes a MYB transcription factor on chickpea chromosome 8. The protein contains a Myb DNA-binding domain and is annotated with sequence-specific DNA binding and transcription factor activity. CaSUB is associated with the regulation of phenylpropanoid, flavonoid, lignin, and suberin biosynthetic processes, as well as the shikimate pathway and green leaf volatile biosynthesis. It has been linked to seed development, circadian rhythm, and responses to wounding and cold. The gene product localises to the nucleus and the Casparian strip. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to root endodermis suberization and root suberization.
