LP1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD3BV1G016690, also known as LP1 or TtLP1, encodes a non-specific lipid-transfer protein belonging to the Plant_nsLTP family on durum wheat chromosome 3B. The gene product is associated with lipid binding and lipid transport, and has been linked to response to salt and salinity response through ontology annotations. Additionally, LP1 is associated with drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species, such as barley BLT4.9 and rice BGIOSGA036882-PA, connect the LTP family to stress responses, though these associations are not yet established for this durum wheat gene.
