TPP1 — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3001G303900 (symbol TPP1, also known as SbTPP1) encodes a trehalose-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.12) with trehalase activity, belonging to the HAD-superfamily hydrolase and trehalose-phosphatase domain families. This sorghum gene on chromosome 1 is associated with trehalose biosynthesis, regulation of secondary shoot formation, and responses to oxidative stress, cold, salinity, cadmium, and osmotic stress. It has been linked to photosynthetic rate, grain yield, coleoptile elongation, primary root growth, lateral root formation, root elongation, auxin accumulation, and submergence. The encoded protein localizes to the nucleolus, cytosol, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species connect the TPP family to drought, salt, and cold stress tolerance, as well as inflorescence branching and meristem determinacy.
