CBL1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD4BV1G203360, symbol CBL1 and also known as TtCBL1, encodes a calcineurin B-like protein with EF-hand calcium-binding domains. The gene product is associated with calcium ion binding and kinase binding, and has been linked to calcium signaling, ABA signaling, and thermomorphogenesis. It is localized to the membrane, plasmalemma, and aleurone grain membrane. Associations with agronomically relevant traits include seed dormancy, anthesis time, drought tolerance, and oxidative stress response, as well as a specific salt tolerance (SALTTL) association. Studies of related genes in other species link this gene family to calcium-mediated stress signaling pathways.
