Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: CaMIPS2
  • Gene Name: L-myo-inositol 1-phosphate synthase2
  • Genome:
  • Species: Cicer arietinum

Functional Descriptions:

  • Two divergent genes encoding L-myo-inositol 1-phosphate synthase1 (CaMIPS1) and 2 (CaMIPS2) are differentially expressed in chickpea.
  • To explore this, two MIPS genes (CaMIPS1 and CaMIPS2) were isolated from a drought-tolerant plant chickpea. Both genes are extremely divergent in respect to their introns, at the same time retaining 85% identity to their exons and functionally complementing inositol auxotroph Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
  • Under environmental stresses, only CaMIPS2 was induced whereas CaMIPS1 expression remained same, which could be explained by the divergence of their 5′ upstream regulatory sequences.
  • Our results suggest that CaMIPS1 and CaMIPS2 are differentially expressed in chickpea to play discrete though overlapping roles in plant; however CaMIPS2 is likely to be evolved through gene duplication to function under environmental stresses.
