BHLH — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101507432 (CaBHLH) on chickpea chromosome 8 encodes a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) DNA-binding superfamily protein with protein dimerization activity and DNA-binding transcription factor activity. It is localized to the nucleus and is associated with the regulation of DNA-templated transcription and shoot development. The gene has been linked to decreased cold tolerance and increased osmotic stress sensitivity. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to iron assimilation, cell proliferation, embryo development, drought tolerance, root morphology traits, and cytoplasmic male sterility.
