TPP1 — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3008G070200, designated TPP1, encodes a trehalose 6-phosphate phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.12) with a trehalose-phosphatase activity domain, placing it in the HAD-superfamily hydrolase family. In sorghum, this gene is associated with saline-alkaline stress tolerance and has been linked to salinity tolerance traits. Annotated biological process associations include mycose biosynthesis, regulation of secondary shoot formation, glutathione and sucrose metabolism, phenylpropanoid and lignin anabolism, homeostasis, salinity and cold responses, and signal transduction. Studies of related genes in other species further connect this family to stress tolerance and carbohydrate metabolism.
