IRT1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum
Summary
TRITD0UV1G118690, designated IRT1 in durum wheat, encodes a metal ion transmembrane transporter with activity for copper, zinc, manganese, iron, and cadmium ions, and also exhibits phosphoinositide, ubiquitin, mRNA, and protein binding. The gene is associated with zinc accumulation, iron homeostasis, and responses to iron deficiency and cadmium stress. It is linked to leaf senescence, cellular response to hypoxia, and downregulation of abscisic acid signaling. Localization evidence connects the product to the plasma membrane, endosome, late endosome membrane, and ESCRT I complex. The gene has been associated with grain filling period, biomass production, chlorophyll content, photosynthetic efficiency, disease resistance, and root and leaf development. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to iron acquisition, cadmium uptake, and nickel accumulation.
