GAPC — Triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS7A02G313100, designated TaGAPC on bread wheat chromosome 7A, encodes a glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) with oxidoreductase activity acting on aldehyde or oxo-group donors, NAD or NADP as acceptor, and also annotated for fructose-bisphosphate aldolase activity, phospholipase D activity, voltage-gated anion channel activity, and salicylic acid binding. The gene is associated with pre-harvest sprouting, response to anoxia, redox signal response, ascorbate metabolism, phosphatidic acid metabolism, and protein acetylation. Associations also include grain yield, grain width and length, flour color, stem strength, spike density, heading time, coleoptile length, root number, iron concentration, sugar content, abscisic acid content, and tolerance to drought, salt, freezing, and UV-B stress. The product localizes to the plasma membrane, mitochondrial envelope, chloroplast envelope, vacuole, apoplast, nucleolus, and microtubule cytoskeleton.
