LP1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD4AV1G153110, also known as LP1 or TtLP1 on durum wheat chromosome 4A, encodes a non-specific lipid-transfer protein belonging to the plant nsLTP family. The gene product is associated with lipid binding and lipid transport, as well as with response to salt and salinity response. LP1 is also linked to drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to additional roles in lipid transfer and stress responses, though these associations are not yet established for this durum wheat gene.
