CBL1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD5BV1G029010, symbol CBL1, encodes a calcineurin B-like protein on durum wheat chromosome 5B. The product contains EF-hand domains and binds calcium ions and kinases. This gene is associated with calcium and ABA signaling, thermomorphogenesis, and response to oxidative stress. It localises to the membrane, plasmalemma, and aleurone grain membrane. Associations with seed dormancy, anthesis time, drought tolerance, and salt tolerance have been recorded. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to calcium-mediated stress signaling.
