LP1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD3BV1G016720, designated LP1 (TtLP1) on durum wheat chromosome 3B, encodes a non-specific lipid-transfer protein belonging to the Plant_nsLTP family. The product is associated with lipid binding and lipid transport, as well as response to salt and salinity stress. This gene has also been connected to drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to stress responses, though these associations are not yet established for TtLP1 itself.
