ZFP — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD5BV1G231880, designated TtZFP (ZFP), encodes a C2H2-type domain-containing protein with DNA binding transcription factor activity and transcription cis-regulatory region binding, localising to the nucleus. It is associated with regulation of DNA-templated transcription, response to oxidative stress, and response to thirst. TtZFP is linked to coleoptile length and drought tolerance, and its family member ZFP15 is connected to flower development. Studies of related genes in other species associate the family with seed germination, germination rate, growth stage, salt response, and abiotic stress.
