LEA7 — Cicer arietinum
Summary
LOC101504724 (CaLEA7, LEA7) on chickpea chromosome 6 encodes a late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) protein belonging to the LEA1/2/D7/KIN2 family and is annotated with L-lactate dehydrogenase (cytochrome) activity. The protein localises to both the cytosol and nucleus. CaLEA7 is associated with protein stabilization, response to freezing, and response to thirst. The gene is associated with drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to freezing tolerance and desiccation tolerance. The gene is also related to HVA1 and other LEA family members through sequence similarity.
