HMG — Cicer arietinum

Summary

CaHMG (LOC101515563) on chickpea chromosome 4 encodes a protein containing HMG-box and SSRP1 domains, with DNA binding, nucleosome binding, histone binding, and DNA-binding transcription factor activity. The gene is associated with the FACT complex, euchromatin, nucleolus, and nucleus localisation. It is linked to asexual reproduction, mating, karyogamy, polar nucleus fusion, DNA replication and repair, cholesterol anabolism, lipid metabolism, and the transition from vegetative to reproductive phase. Associations with agronomic traits include flowering time, anthocyanin content, seed dormancy, leaf size, plant growth and development, and vegetative-to-reproductive phase transition. Related genes in other species are linked to plant development, DNA demethylation, and genomic imprinting.
