wlt10 — Triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS2A02G460600, symbol wlt10 on bread wheat chromosome 2A, encodes the WLT10 protein. The gene is associated with generation of precursor metabolites and energy, transition metal and calcium transport, proton transmembrane transport, and response to karrikin, nitrate, and cold acclimation. It has been connected to vacuole organization, protein membrane targeting, positive regulation of flavonoid anabolism, and regulation of the hypersensitive response. Associations include leaf color, proline content, stripe rust, low temperature stress response, cold tolerance, and salt tolerance. Phenotypic links include freezing tolerance and leaf rust resistance. The gene is also linked to submergence response, underwater shoot elongation, and expression of transcription factors such as WRKY13 and EREBP129. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to uncharacterized proteins.
