LOC101500706 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101500706 on chickpea chromosome 2 encodes a protein containing WRKY and Exo70 domains, with DNA-binding transcription factor activity and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate binding. The gene is associated with exocytosis, protein transport, and localization to the exocyst, plasma membrane, nucleus, and periarbuscular membrane. It has been associated with defense responses, leaf senescence, and responses to ozone, hydrogen peroxide, salicylate, symbiotic bacteria, and symbiotic fungi, as well as arbuscular mycorrhizae formation. Studies of related genes in other species link this family to exocyst function and symbiotic interactions.
