RAB — Cicer arietinum
Summary
LOC101512958 (CaRAB) on chickpea chromosome 6 encodes a protein with a plant development regulator domain and a Zf-C2H2_type domain, localised to the nucleus. It is associated with DNA-binding transcription factor activity and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. The gene has been linked to cold and defense responses, meristem organisation, and cytokinesis. Associations include floral organogenesis, organ separation, and cell geometry, as well as salt response. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to petal development, petal initiation, floral organ identity, and directional cell growth. Additional family associations from other species include petal size, cellulose content, hypocotyl morphology, and vesicular transport.
