GSC — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD5BV1G146140, also known as TtGSC or TtHSP90, encodes a protein belonging to the LEA-18 family on durum wheat chromosome 5B. The gene is associated with chloroplast localization and the biological process GO:0015979. In durum wheat, TtGSC has been linked to maturity time, grain weight, and GRWT. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to a wide range of traits including grain yield, drought tolerance, heat tolerance, cold tolerance, stem rust and stripe rust resistance, chlorophyll content, leaf relative water content, seed dormancy, heterosis, nitrogen recycling, plant dry weight, cytokinin content and sensitivity, stomatal resistance, and salt tolerance.
