EPSPS — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD1BV1G070010 (EPSPS) in durum wheat chromosome 1B encodes a 3-phosphoshikimate 1-carboxyvinyltransferase, an enzyme with transferase activity that acts in the shikimate pathway and aromatic amino acid biosynthesis. It is associated with response to herbicide, green leaf volatile biosynthetic process, circadian rhythm, and amino acid anabolism. The encoded protein localises to a membrane-bound organelle. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to the same enzyme class (EC 2.5.1.19).
