LP1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD3BV1G016790, also known as LP1 or TtLP1 on durum wheat chromosome 3B, encodes a non-specific lipid transfer protein (LTP2) belonging to the Plant_nsLTP family. The product is annotated with lipid binding and lipid transport molecular functions and biological processes. This gene is associated with response to salt and salinity response, as well as drought tolerance. Studies of related LTP family members in other species link the family to stress responses, though these associations are not yet established for this specific durum wheat gene.
