EPSPS — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum
Summary
TRITD4AV1G243340 (TtEPSPS) on durum wheat chromosome 4A encodes a 3-phosphoshikimate 1-carboxyvinyltransferase (EC 2.5.1.19), the EPSP synthase enzyme. The protein localises to the chloroplast stroma and is associated with aromatic amino acid biosynthesis, green leaf volatile production, circadian rhythm, and response to herbicide, including Roundup metabolism. The gene is linked to indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) content. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to glyphosate sensitivity and tolerance, grain yield and weight, plant height, seedling vigour, root morphology, seed germination, days to maturity, stomatal resistance, quantum yield, lignin content, auxin content, and heterosis.
