LEA — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD5BV1G190650, also known as TtLEA, encodes a dehydrin family protein on durum wheat chromosome 5B. The product is annotated with lipid, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidate, and phosphoinositide binding activities. This gene is associated with cold acclimation, response to salt, response to abscisic acid, response to thirst, embryogenesis, seed development, seed germination, and NO storage. It is linked to vesicle membrane, cytosol, and nucleus localization. Associations include salinity tolerance, germination rate, photosynthetic rate, seedling establishment, drought, seed traits, desiccation tolerance, and salt stress tolerance. Related genes in other species connect the family to winter survival, water stress response, abscisic acid content, cold tolerance, heat tolerance, drought tolerance, salt tolerance, seed maturation, and various growth and physiological traits.
