GSC — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD5AV1G157370, also known as TtGSC or TtHSP90, encodes a late embryogenesis abundant (LEA-18) family protein on durum wheat chromosome 5A. The gene is associated with chloroplast localization and the biological process GO:0015979. In durum wheat, TtGSC has been linked to maturity time and grain weight traits. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to a wide range of agronomic traits, including grain yield, drought tolerance, heat tolerance, cold tolerance, stem rust and stripe rust resistance, chlorophyll content, seed dormancy, and heterosis. The family has also been associated with nitrogen recycling, plant dry weight, leaf relative water content, cytokinin sensitivity and content, stomatal resistance, and salt tolerance.
