CIN3 — Triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS5B02G556600 (symbol CIN3) on bread wheat chromosome 5B encodes a fructan beta-(2,1)-fructosidase (EC 3.2.1.153) with beta-fructofuranosidase activity, belonging to the Glyco_hydro_32 family and fructan-metabolising enzymes. The gene is associated with carbohydrate storage, sucrose and starch metabolism, cell wall modification, response to water and freezing, and secretion, and localises to the apoplast. It has been linked to numerous agronomic traits including grain yield, grain weight, grain size, grain number, grain length and width, grain volume, grain shape, tillering capacity, tiller number, plant height, flag leaf angle, leaf angle, anthesis time, anther extrusion, grain filling period, seedling vigour, root length, root number, chlorophyll content, sucrose and sugar content, phosphorus content, and salinity tolerance. Related genes in other species are linked to beta-fructofuranosidase activity (EC 3.2.1.26).
