AQP1 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

CaAQP1 (LOC101508956, also known as TIP1 or CaTIP1-1) on chickpea chromosome 3 encodes an aquaporin family protein with water channel activity, localised to the tonoplast and vacuolar membrane. The gene is associated with water transport, vacuole organisation, leaf development, polar cell growth, and response to salt and thirst. It has been linked to the trait SALTTL. Related genes in other species are associated with water absorption by seed, chlorophyll content, and drought tolerance.
