ENS — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD4AV1G074820 (symbol ENS, also known as TtABH1 or TtCBP80) on durum wheat chromosome 4A encodes an 80 kDa nuclear cap-binding protein with MIF4G-like domains. The gene product is associated with RNA cap binding, mRNA binding, and DNA binding transcription factor activity, and is linked to mRNA processing, splicing, nonsense-mediated decay, nuclear export, and pri-miRNA and ta-siRNA processing. It is associated with regulation of meristem development, adaxial/abaxial pattern formation, plant organ morphogenesis, response to long-day flowering, response to abscisic acid, antiviral response, and RNA-dependent gene silencing. Associations with traits include leaf and inflorescence morphology, shoot meristem development, biotic stress, and waterlogging tolerance, as well as ABA sensitivity, stomatal closure, salt tolerance, and seed germination. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to ABA hypersensitivity, drought resistance, flowering time, and meristem activity.
