CHLN — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_2G070310 (symbol CHLN) in barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) chromosome 2 encodes a protein with a nicotianamine synthase domain and a SAM-dependent methyltransferase superfamily domain, and is annotated with nicotianamine synthase activity. The gene is associated with nicotianamine anabolism, zinc import, response to zinc, fermentation, nitrogen fixation, nodulation, and homeostasis. Related genes in other species link the family to nicotianamine synthase activity (EC 2.5.1.43).
