FK — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD3AV1G266990 (FK, TtFK) on durum wheat chromosome 3A encodes a 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase with D14-sterol reductase activity (EC 1.3.1.21) and NADP binding. The gene is associated with brassinosteroid, sterol, cholesterol, lutein and carotenoid metabolism, photoprotection, polar cell growth, embryo development and seed dormancy. It localises to the ER membrane, Golgi and nucleus. Associations include photosynthetic rate, embryogenesis, hypocotyl and root growth, apiculus pigmentation, vegetative phase change, stomatal development, herbicide tolerance, dwarfism and asymmetric cell division. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to cell division, embryonic development, flowering time, dwarfism, and traits including grain size, plant height, leaf chlorophyll content, root length and anthesis time.
