LP1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD3BV1G016680, 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 annotated with lipid binding and lipid transport. LP1 is associated with response to salt, salinity response, and drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to stress responses, though these associations are not yet established for this durum wheat gene.
