CBP60B — Triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS5B02G416900, designated CBP60B (CBP60g), encodes a calmodulin-binding protein with DNA-binding transcription factor activity, localised to the nucleus. In bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) on chromosome 5B, this gene is associated with powdery mildew resistance and with the regulation of salicylic acid biosynthesis, systemic acquired resistance, and the respiratory burst involved in defence response. It has been connected to responses to bacteria, fungi, chitin, jasmonic acid, and ethylene, as well as to the downregulation of programmed cell death and defence response. Associations also include drought tolerance, head wax, and SDS sedimentation.
