CCOAOMT1 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101508155 (CaCCOAOMT1) on chickpea chromosome 6 encodes a caffeoyl-CoA O-methyltransferase with SAM-dependent methyltransferase activity and metal binding. The gene is associated with phenylpropanoid metabolism, lignin anabolism, coumarin anabolism, nitrogen fixation, circadian rhythm, and defence response to bacteria. Its product localises to the cytosol, nucleus, plasmalemma, endomembrane system and stress granules. CaCCOAOMT1 is linked to drought tolerance, salt stress tolerance, oxidative stress tolerance, ABA signaling, ABA response, resistance to Ralstonia solanacearum, and the biosynthesis of lignin, flavonoids, coumarins, scopoletin, sinapoyl malate and spermidine phenylpropanoids. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to defence response and xylem transport, and to susceptibility to P. syringae and reduced callose deposition.
