CSD3 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101504969 (CSD3, CaCSD3) on chickpea chromosome 2 encodes a protein with a Cu/Zn SOD domain and is annotated for copper binding. The gene is associated with removal of O2-, response to oxidative stress, cellular homeostasis, cellular responses to ozone, high light intensity, UV-B, and salinity. The encoded product localises to the cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum, and plant-type vacuole. CaCSD3 is associated with drought tolerance, salt stress response, antioxidant activity, and antioxidant defense. Related genes in other species link the family to superoxide detoxification and proline content.
