LOC101514054 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101514054 on chickpea chromosome 6 encodes a protein with NAD(P)-binding Rossmann-fold and epimerase/dehydratase domains, and annotated molecular functions include cinnamyl-alcohol dehydrogenase, dihydroflavonol 4-reductase, and flavanone 4-reductase activities, as well as general oxidoreductase activity acting on CH-OH groups with NAD or NADP as acceptor. The gene is associated with pigmentation, anthocyanin and flavonoid anabolism, protein modification, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, and homeostasis, and its product localizes to the nucleus. It has been linked to seed color and seed coat color traits. Related genes in other species are associated with leaf shape and photochemical quenching, though these associations are not yet established in chickpea.
