LP1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD4BV1G049500, also known as LP1 or TtLP1 on durum wheat chromosome 4B, encodes a non-specific lipid-transfer protein. The product is associated with lipid binding and lipid transport, as well as response to salt and salinity response. This gene has been connected to drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to similar lipid-transfer and stress-response functions, though these associations are not yet established for this durum wheat gene.
