LP1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD3BV1G016640, also known as LP1 or TtLP1 on durum wheat chromosome 3B, encodes a non-specific lipid-transfer protein belonging to the Plant_nsLTP family. The gene product is associated with lipid binding and lipid transport, and has been linked to response to salt and salinity response. Additionally, LP1 is associated with drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species further associate the family with stress responses and lipid-related processes.
