LP1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD3BV1G016470 (LP1) on durum wheat chromosome 3B encodes a protein with domains including Plant_nsLTP, Bifunc_inhib/LTP/seed_store, and Bifun_inhib/LTP/seed_sf, and is annotated with lipid carrier, chitosan binding, lipid binding, chitin binding, calcium ion binding, and numerous other molecular functions. The gene is associated with lipid transport, cutin-based cuticle development, phospholipid transfer to membranes, and responses to chitin, salt, and mechanical stimuli. It has been linked to traits including bacterial blight disease resistance, drought tolerance, salt tolerance, flowering time, leaf senescence, seed growth and development, abscisic acid sensitivity, jasmonic acid content, and stomatal complex closure time. The encoded protein localises to the apoplast, plant-type cell wall, plasmodesmata, secretory vesicles, and Golgi complex. Related genes in other species are linked to cuticle integrity, pathogen resistance, seed set, pollen tube growth, and freezing tolerance.
