LOC101500219 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101500219 on chickpea chromosome 4 encodes a protein containing an extensin domain and is annotated as a structural constituent of the cell wall. The gene is associated with plant-type cell wall organization, posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression, and response to stress and immune response. It has been linked to lateral root formation, homeostasis, signal transduction, and response to thirst. The encoded product localizes to the primary cell wall. The gene is also associated with drought tolerance. Related genes in other species, based on sequence similarity, further connect this family to cell wall structure and function.
