LTP2 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD5BV1G244100, also known as LTP2 or TtNSLTP2, encodes a protein on durum wheat chromosome 5B. The product is annotated with lipid binding and lipid transport functions, and is also associated with cell wall organization. This gene has been linked to seed traits and defense responses. Studies of related genes in other species connect the nsLTP2 family to soluble protein content and overall protein content, though these associations are not yet established for this specific durum wheat gene.
