LP1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD3BV1G016660, 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 is annotated with lipid binding and lipid transport functions, and is associated with response to salt and salinity response. It has also been linked to drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to stress responses, though these associations are not yet established for this durum wheat gene.
