RSS1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD6AV1G135580, also known as TtRSS1, encodes a protein of the RSS1 family on durum wheat chromosome 6A. The gene is associated with cell cycle control and meristem maintenance, as well as with starch biosynthesis, phytohormone and cytokinin responses. It has also been linked to resistance and starch. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to cell cycle, leaf, salt stress, tolerance, dwarf, meristem, shoot, seed, endosperm, and salinity phenotypes. Sequence similarity further links the family to grain size and wheat stripe rust disease response.
