CBL1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD3BV1G017060, symbol CBL1, encodes a calcineurin B-like protein with EF-hand calcium-binding domains. The product is associated with kinase binding and calcium ion binding, and has been linked to calcium signaling, ABA signaling, thermomorphogenesis, and response to oxidative stress. It localizes to the membrane, plasmalemma, and aleurone grain membrane. Associations include seed dormancy, anthesis time, drought tolerance, oxidative stress response, and salt tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to similar stress and developmental processes, though these functions are not established for this durum wheat gene.
