LP1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD3BV1G016510, also known as LP1 or TtLP1 on durum wheat chromosome 3B, encodes a non-specific lipid-transfer protein (nsLTP) belonging to the Plant_nsLTP domain family. The gene product is annotated with lipid binding and lipid transport molecular functions and biological processes. LP1 is associated with response to salt, salinity response, and drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the nsLTP family to stress responses. The encoded protein also shares sequence similarity with other LTP family members, including LTP1, CW20, and LTP4.3.
