摘要

Harsh environments continuously impact the growth and development of plants, leading to reduced productivity. Therefore, it is crucial to study the acclimation processes to understand the underlying mechanisms for developing climate-resilient plants. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a leguminous crop known for its high protein and carbohydrate content. Though the crop is grown in arid and semi-arid regions, they are vulnerable to extreme stress conditions such as drought stress. Therefore, studies on drought-responsive genes were necessary. The filamentous temperature-sensitive protease H (FtsH) family is speculated to play roles in drought stress response. FtsH protease is a membrane-anchored, zinc metalloprotease gene for plant chloroplast development and its photosynthetic control. In our present study, we have identified fourteen FtsH protease-encoding genes, and their corresponding proteins using different in-silico tools and expression profiling through qRT-PCR. The CaFtsH gene expression provided a basis for the functional analysis of the drought, ABA, and NaCl signal transduction pathways. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the biological significance of the FtsH genes and therefore require further characterization to dissect the precise role of these genes.
