MGP — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101511476 (CaMGP, also known as CaIDD8, CaNUC, CaIDD3, IDD3, NUC, IDD8) on chickpea chromosome 1 encodes a protein with C2H2-type zinc finger and IDD1-16 domains, and is annotated with DNA-binding transcription factor activity, protein kinase activity, and phosphatase binding. The protein localizes to the nucleus, cytosol, and Golgi complex. CaMGP is associated with numerous developmental and stress-related processes, including vegetative phase change, primary root development, regulation of meristem size, meiotic cytokinesis, leaf senescence, seed dormancy, and flowering under short-day conditions. It is linked to traits such as seed yield, days to flowering, submergence tolerance, high temperature stress response, anthocyanin content, root hair length, and plant male sterility. Related genes in other species are associated with energy sensing, metabolic regulation, autophagy, and stress tolerance.
