C4H — Cicer arietinum
Summary
LOC101507607 (C4H, CaC4H) on chickpea chromosome 5 encodes a cytochrome P450 enzyme with trans-cinnamate 4-monooxygenase activity, also annotated for iron and heme binding. This gene is associated with lignin metabolism, phenylpropanoid anabolism, ubiquinone anabolism, and responses to wounding and light stimulus. It is linked to seed and pollen development, immune response, and traits including protein content, male fertility, plant growth, and lignin deposition. The encoded protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, membrane, nucleus, and other cellular compartments. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to lignification, dwarfism, altered phenylpropanoid metabolism, and abiotic stress adaptation, while sequence similarity links the family to traits such as drought tolerance, seed dormancy, root length, and plant height.
