GID1 — Triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS5D02G435400, designated TaGID1 on wheat chromosome 5D, encodes a protein with an alpha/beta hydrolase fold and carboxylesterase activity, also annotated with 2-hydroxyisoflavanone dehydratase and lyase activities. The gene is associated with gibberellin signaling, defense responses, isoflavonoid and flavonoid biosynthesis, and alkaloid metabolism. Its product localizes to the amyloplast. TaGID1 is associated with plant height and heterosis. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to grain yield, seed dormancy, germination rate, stem elongation, submergence tolerance, stomatal resistance, and stem diameter.
