TPS5 — Triticum aestivum

Summary

TaTPS5 (TRAESCS6D02G334000) on bread wheat chromosome 6D encodes a trehalose-phosphatase with transglycosidase activity, belonging to the Glyco_trans_20 and trehalose-phosphatase domain families. The gene is associated with mycose biosynthesis, regulation of secondary shoot formation, sucrose metabolism, response to karrikin and nitrate, calcium and proton transmembrane transport, vacuole organization, positive regulation of flavonoid anabolism, and osmotic response. It is linked to grain density, sucrose, proline, and starch content, stripe rust, low temperature stress response, plant height, salt sensitivity, test weight, and carbon allocation to starch and amino acids. Related genes in other species are linked to salt stress tolerance and yield, cold tolerance, and disease resistance. The protein localizes to mitochondria and the cytoplasm.
