FKP1 — Cicer arietinum
Summary
CaFKP1 (LOC101507987) on chickpea chromosome 8 encodes a hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA synthase, a key enzyme in the mevalonate (MVA) pathway. The gene is associated with cell wall modification and localises to the plasmodesma and mitochondria. CaFKP1 is associated with male fertility, pollen fertility, pollen coat development, tapetum development, and tapetum-specific organelle development. Related genes in other species are linked to 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A synthase activity, glucosinolate biosynthesis, and root growth. The gene family has also been associated with pollen fertility restoration and root thickness traits in other species.
