ETR — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101508964 (CaETR, also known as CaETR1, CaRDO3, or CaEIN1) on chickpea chromosome 6 encodes a protein with ETR1_N, GAF, and histidine kinase domains, and is annotated with C2H4 receptor activity, ethene binding, histidine phosphotransfer kinase activity, dual-specificity protein kinase activity, phosphorelay sensor kinase activity, histidine kinase activity, and other molecular functions. The gene is associated with detection of ethene stimulus, jasmonic acid/ethene-dependent systemic resistance, ethene mediated signaling pathway, regulation of seedling development, regulation of post-embryonic root development, regulation of stem cell renewal, calcium ion homeostasis, response to hormone, water stress response trait, high temperature stress response, aphid response trait, and many other biological processes and traits including seed yield, seed weight, days to flowering, leaf carbon content, photosynthetic ability, stomatal resistance, stem elongation, lateral root length, and aluminum, herbicide, and jasmonic acid sensitivity. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to ethylene insensitivity, plant development, and phosphorelay signaling.
