VIT1 — Triticum aestivum
Summary
TRAESCS5A02G203400 (TaVIT1, also known as TaVIT2) on wheat chromosome 5A encodes a member of the Ccc1 family, with iron ion sequestering activity and manganese ion transmembrane transporter activity. The gene is associated with cellular and multicellular iron and manganese ion homeostasis, iron transport, and vacuolar membrane localisation. TaVIT1 is linked to iron accumulation, vacuolar storage, and distribution in seeds, as well as seedling development and growth. It is also associated with floral meristem identity, flowering time, heading time, grain weight, plant height, flag leaf angle, and photosynthetic rate. Related genes in other species link the family to vacuolar iron transport, iron homeostasis, iron distribution in seeds, seed iron concentration, and yield.
