LOC101501002 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101501002 on chickpea chromosome 7 encodes a protein with a glycosyl hydrolase 18 domain and chitinase activity, including chitin binding and hydrolase activity. This gene is associated with chitin breakdown, polysaccharide breakdown, carbohydrate metabolism, cell wall modification, and primary metabolism. It is linked to nodulation, hyphal growth, spore germination, biofilm formation, interaction with host, ergosterol anabolism, syngamy, detoxification, hypersensitivity, nitric oxide storage, homeostasis, and cell death. The encoded protein is localized extracellularly. Associations with agronomic traits include seed weight, plant height, root length, root volume, root weight, chlorophyll content, nitrogen content, and phosphorus content. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to chitinase activity (EC 3.2.1.14).
