GOS9 — Triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS7D02G001300 (symbol GOS9, also known as Hfr-1) on bread wheat chromosome 7D encodes a protein containing jacalin-like lectin and dirigent domains, with annotated molecular functions including calmodulin binding, D-mannose binding, D-glucose binding, sugar binding, protein homodimerization activity, and identical protein binding. The gene is associated with defense response to insect, response to wounding, phenylpropanoid anabolism, heterophilic cell-cell adhesion, protein homotetramerization, pupation, positive regulation of p38 MAPK signaling, and upregulation of mitosis. It is linked to insect resistance, Hessian fly damage, insect damage response, and multiple grain traits including grain length, size, weight, and yield, as well as pericarp and seed coat color. The encoded protein localizes to the apoplast and cytoplasm.
