LOC101503565 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101503565 on chickpea chromosome 1 encodes a protein containing a ubiquitin-like domain and is annotated with protein binding molecular function. The gene is associated with diverse biological processes including redox sensing, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, protein secretion, cellular homeostasis, response to iron, metabolic burst, UV protection, developmental process, protein synthesis and breakdown, NO storage, embryogenesis, vesicle transport, seed development, and cell death. It is linked to plastid and cytosol localisation. Trait associations include seed weight, meristem identity, seed maturation, oxidative stress response, drought tolerance, and salt tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to similar processes, though these associations are not yet established in chickpea.
