SPL13 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101507093, designated CaSPL13, encodes a protein with an SBP domain that binds DNA and zinc, localises to the nucleus, and is annotated to regulate transcription. In chickpea, CaSPL13 is associated with anther development, the transition from vegetative to reproductive phase, and response to fungi. The gene has been linked to leaf morphology, vegetative phase change, somatic embryogenesis, and root apical meristem phase transition. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to plastochron, leaf size, drought tolerance, and meristem identity, as well as delayed vegetative phase change and flowering.
