lrr — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101505004 (symbol lrr, also known as CaDRT100 and EXLRR8) on chickpea chromosome 5 encodes a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain-containing protein with transmembrane receptor serine/threonine kinase activity, protein serine kinase activity, and nucleotide/ATP binding. The product is associated with the ER membrane, apoplast, plasma membrane, and nucleus. This gene is linked to diverse biological processes including UV protection and response, nitrogen fixation, floral organ development and meristem regulation, stomatal complex morphogenesis, cell wall modification, secretion, embryogenesis, and regulation of cell growth. It is also associated with drought tolerance and DNA damage repair. Studies of related genes in other species link the LRR family to traits such as seed weight and size, chlorophyll content, root length, stomatal resistance, photochemical quenching, pollen fertility, and days to flowering.
