P5CR — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101508633 (CaP5CR) on chickpea chromosome 3 encodes a pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase, an enzyme with pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase activity. The gene is associated with the ascorbate-glutathione cycle, L-proline biosynthetic process, secondary metabolism, anthocyanin metabolism, homeostasis, and response to heat and salinity. Its product localises to the plant-type cell wall, cytosol, and cytoplasm. CaP5CR is associated with photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, chlorophyll content, fructose content, salt response, and parasitic weed interactions. Related genes in other species link the family to osmotic stress tolerance, proline biosynthesis, embryo development, cell division, and heat stress response.
