FK — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD1AV1G220910, designated FK (TtFK), encodes a sterol reductase with 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase and D14-sterol reductase activities, belonging to the Sterol_reductase_CS and ERG24_DHCR-like families. In durum wheat, it is associated with brassinosteroid, sterol, lutein and carotenoid anabolism, photoprotection, polar cell growth, and embryo development ending in seed dormancy. The protein localises to the ER membrane, Golgi complex and nucleus. FK is linked to photosynthetic rate, embryogenesis, hypocotyl elongation, root growth and development, meristem development, stomatal development, apiculus pigmentation, vegetative phase change, plant growth, dwarfism, asymmetric cell division, and herbicide tolerance. Related genes in other species are linked to embryonic development, cell division, cell expansion, stem elongation, flowering time, and brassinosteroid homeostasis, as well as traits including grain size, plant height, leaf chlorophyll content, and anthesis time.
