MPL1 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101514430 (CaMPL1, MPL1) on chickpea chromosome 3 encodes a protein with an alpha/beta hydrolase fold and lipase domain, and is annotated with lipase activity. The gene is associated with leaflet formation, defense response to insects, and auxin signaling, and its product localizes to the extracellular region. CaMPL1 is associated with aphid resistance, cold tolerance, and resistance to Fusarium graminearum. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to additional stress responses including drought tolerance, salt response, low temperature stress, and plant height, as well as to vivipary and wheat fusarium head blight response.
