JAI1 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101507137, designated CaJAI1 on chickpea chromosome 7, encodes a protein of the AIB/MYC-like family with a bHLH domain. The product is annotated with BHLH transcription factor binding, histidine phosphotransfer kinase activity, MAPKK activity, phosphatase binding, transcription corepressor activity, transcription coactivator activity, histone binding, RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding, SUMO transferase activity, SUMO binding, promoter-specific chromatin binding, and protein tag. CaJAI1 is associated with biological processes including cellular response to sulfur starvation, induced systemic resistance, regulation of glucosinolate biosynthetic process, trichome spacing, positive regulation of seed maturation, drought recovery, detection of nutrient, chlorophyll metabolism, regulation of ascorbate biosynthesis, tryptophan formation, regulation of cellular response to basic pH, and regulation of defense response to insect. The gene is linked to traits including anther length, rice thrips damage response, shoot elongation under submergence, petal length, root epidermal cell length, sulfur sensitivity, fruit ripening, leaf elongation rate, potassium sensitivity, sepal morphology, seed coat morphology, branch angle, phosphorus response, flower morphology, plant nutrient response, seed set percent, metabolite content, adventitious root number, silique fruit morphology, inflorescence development, axillary bud morphology, gynoecium development, gibberellin biosynthesis, petal morphology, shoot system elongation rate
