GAPC — Triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS7D02G309500 (TaGAPC) on wheat chromosome 7D encodes a glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, an oxidoreductase that acts on the aldehyde or oxo group of donors with NAD or NADP as acceptor, and binds NAD, NADP, and phosphate ions. This gene is associated with cytosolic glycolysis, carbohydrate metabolism, and amino acid biosynthesis, as well as processes including ascorbate metabolism, response to anoxia and water, oxidative phosphorylation, and pre-harvest sprouting. It has been linked to grain width and length, flour color, stem and culm strength, spike density, heading time, tiller number, root number, coleoptile length, stem length, ear length, germination rate, photosynthetic rate, water use efficiency, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, proline content, sugar content, abscisic acid content, nitrate transport, heat tolerance, salt response, and resistance to stem rust and stripe rust. The protein localizes to the cytosol and cytoplasm.
