UBI10 — Cicer arietinum

Summary

LOC101514934 (CaUBI10) on chickpea chromosome 6 encodes a ubiquitin-domain protein with protease and thiol-dependent deubiquitinase activities, and is also associated with phytochrome binding, blue light photoreceptor activity, steroid binding, and structural ribosome constituent functions. The gene is linked to modification-dependent proteolysis, deubiquitination, regulation of proton transport, chloroplast accumulation movement, de-etiolation, negative gravitropism, and responses to red or far-red light. It has been connected to numerous agronomic traits including biomass yield, water use efficiency, days to flowering, seed size, root mass density, stomatal resistance, auxin and brassinosteroid sensitivity, phototropism, and viral disease response. Related genes in other species are linked to drought tolerance, salt tolerance, lateral branching, apical dominance, and cell proliferation.
