TH7 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD4AV1G198250, also known as TH7, encodes an uncharacterized protein with oxidoreductase activity acting on a sulfur group of donors with disulfide as acceptor, as well as protein-disulfide reductase activity, enzyme activator activity, and several other molecular functions including chitosan and chitin binding, kinase activity, and transcriptional co-regulator activity. The gene is associated with diverse biological processes, including defense responses to bacteria, insects, and microbial phytotoxins, regulation of salicylic acid and jasmonic acid mediated signaling pathways, systemic acquired resistance, and response to hypoxia and hydrogen peroxide. It is linked to numerous agronomically important traits such as resistance to wheat stripe rust, powdery mildew, common root rot, bacterial blight, and Cercospora leaf spot, as well as drought sensitivity, aluminum response, stem and leaf senescence, and stomatal closure time. The protein localizes to multiple cellular compartments including the nuclear body, chloroplast stroma, endoplasmic reticulum, and plasmodesmata.
