TH7 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD1BV1G181650, also known as TtTH7, encodes a thioredoxin H-type protein with oxidoreductase activity acting on sulfur-group donors, protein-disulfide reductase activity, and enzyme activator and inhibitor activities. It is associated with diverse biological processes including defense responses to bacteria, insects, and microbial phytotoxins, regulation of salicylic acid and jasmonic acid signaling pathways, systemic acquired resistance, and response to hypoxia. The gene has been connected to numerous agronomic traits such as wheat powdery mildew, stripe rust, and common root rot disease responses, bacterial blight resistance, drought and salt sensitivity, aluminum response, leaf and stem senescence, and stomatal closure time. It localizes to multiple cellular compartments including the nucleus, cell wall, chloroplast stroma, endoplasmic reticulum, and plasmodesmata.
