MCR — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101503916 (CaMCR, also known as ELMOD_A and ELMOD_B) on chickpea chromosome 3 encodes an ELMO domain-containing protein. The gene is associated with GDS molecular function and its product localises to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Related genes in other species are linked to root morphology traits and pollen aperture formation, including reduced pollen aperture number and the MCR-like aperture phenotype across ploidy levels. The family has also been associated with thioredoxin-like and GPX_AS domains.
