TH7 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD1BV1G003650, also known as TtTH7, encodes a protein with oxidoreductase activity acting on a sulfur group of donors with disulfide as acceptor, protein-disulfide reductase activity, and enzyme activator activity. It is associated with responses to microbial phytotoxins, insects, hypoxia, and hydrogen peroxide, as well as regulation of defence responses to bacteria, systemic acquired resistance, and salicylic acid and jasmonic acid mediated signaling pathways. The gene has been connected to numerous agronomic traits including wheat powdery mildew, stripe rust, and common root rot disease responses, bacterial blight disease resistance, drought sensitivity, leaf and stem senescence, aluminum response, and stomatal complex closure time. Studies of related thioredoxin H-type family members in other species link this gene family to grain yield, plant height, anthesis time, salt tolerance, and resistance to various pathogens including Fusarium and rice yellow mottle virus.
