RAB — Cicer arietinum
Summary
CaRAB (LOC101506400) on chickpea chromosome 6 encodes a C2H2-type zinc-finger transcription factor with DNA-binding activity, belonging to the plant development regulator family. It is localized to the nucleus and is associated with regulation of meristem organization, DNA-templated transcription, defense response, and cold response. The gene has been linked to salt response and to diverse phenotypes including cytokinesis, cell geometry, floral organogenesis, organ separation, hypocotyl growth, and cellulose biosynthesis. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to petal development, petal initiation, floral organ identity, and directional cell growth.
