GLU1A — Triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS2B02G600200 (symbol GLU1A) on bread wheat chromosome 2B encodes a beta-glucosidase enzyme with cellulose 1,4-beta-cellobiosidase, xylanase, galactosidase, mannosidase, DIMBOA glucoside beta-D-glucosidase, fucosidase, beta-L-arabinosidase, beta-gentiobiose beta-glucosidase, glucan exo-1,3-beta-glucosidase, and beta-D-fucosidase activities (EC 3.2.1.21, EC 3.2.1.182). The protein belongs to the glycoside hydrolase family 1 (Glyco_hydro_1) and is localized to the chloroplast stroma and extracellular space. This gene is associated with cell wall polysaccharide breakdown, glucan anabolism, cytokinin anabolism, phenylpropanoid anabolism, wax anabolism, sucrose metabolism, glutathione metabolism, and the TCA cycle. It is linked to pre-harvest sprouting, seed dormancy, germination rate, grain protein content, grain weight, grain yield, grain size, heading time, chlorophyll content, aluminum tolerance, cold tolerance, heat tolerance, drought tolerance, wheat stripe rust disease response, and stem elongation.
