MT1 — Cicer arietinum
Summary
LOC101499448, designated CaMT1 on chickpea chromosome 7, encodes a metallothionein family protein (Metalthion_15p domain) with copper and zinc binding activity. The gene is associated with cellular copper ion homeostasis, cellular detoxification, digestion, and proteolysis, and its product localises to the extracellular space. CaMT1 is associated with photosynthetic rate, root length, and drought tolerance, as well as with cadmium tolerance, copper homeostasis, mercury tolerance, and leaf senescence. Related genes in other species are linked to heavy metal stress tolerance, heavy metal accumulation, and copper tolerance.
