PR1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD0UV1G062990 (TtPR1) encodes a protein with cytokine activity and protein binding. This durum wheat gene is associated with activation of immune response, cytokine production, and priming of cellular response to stress. It is linked to defence response to other organism, response to herbivore, response to wounding, response to salicylate, response to jasmonic acid, and response to ethylene. TtPR1 is associated with systemic acquired resistance, disease resistance, and induced systemic resistance, as well as salt tolerance and cadmium response. The protein localises to the extracellular space, plant-type cell wall, vacuole, and secretory vesicle. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to salicylic acid-mediated defense, pathogen resistance, and responses to jasmonate and ethylene.
