BAM1 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101508440 (CaBAM1) on chickpea chromosome 8 encodes a beta-amylase, a member of the glycosyl hydrolase 14 family, and is annotated with beta-amylase activity and identical protein binding. The gene is associated with starch and polysaccharide breakdown, response to thirst, and extracellular localization. CaBAM1 is associated with male fertility, anther development, stomatal opening, leaf starch degradation, osmotic stress response, drought tolerance, heat stress tolerance, disease resistance, root xylem patterning, vascular development, stem cell regulation, meristem function, lateral root formation, and plant growth. Related genes in other species link the family to starch metabolism, shoot apical meristem maintenance, xylem patterning, and dehydration stress response.
