LP1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD3BV1G016780, also known as LP1 or TtLP1 on durum wheat chromosome 3B, encodes a non-specific lipid transfer protein (nsLTP) belonging to the LTP2 family, with a bifunctional inhibitor/lipid-transfer/seed-storage domain. The product is annotated for lipid binding and lipid transport, and is associated with response to salt and salinity response. This gene has also been associated with 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.
