GID1 — Triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS5A02G427400 (TaGID1, GID1) on wheat chromosome 5A encodes a protein with an alpha/beta hydrolase fold and carboxylesterase and lyase activities. This gene is associated with gibberellin signaling, responses to abiotic and biotic stimuli, defense responses, and secondary metabolism including isoflavonoid and flavonoid biosynthesis. It has been linked to plant height, leaf chlorophyll content, salinity tolerance, stripe rust resistance, drought tolerance, heterosis, and germination rate. The encoded protein localizes to the amyloplast. Related genes in other species are linked to leaf senescence, drought resistance, and leaf morphology.
