HMG1 — Cicer arietinum
Summary
CaHMG1 (LOC101507469) on chickpea chromosome 2 encodes a hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase (NADPH activity). The gene is associated with the biosynthesis of sterols, triterpenoids, saponins and isoprenoids, and with CoA and fatty acid metabolism. It has been linked to seed phytosterol content, cardenolide production, mevalonate synthesis, flower morphology and colour, male fertility, senescence, plant growth and light response. The encoded protein localises to the endoplasmic reticulum, plastid, mitochondrial, peroxisomal and chloroplast membranes. Related genes in other species are linked to phytosterol content, essential oil production, mevalonate pathway regulation and plant development.
