LEA — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum
Summary
TRITD6BV1G019960, designated TtLEA, encodes a dehydrin family protein on durum wheat chromosome 6B. The product binds phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidate, phosphoinositides, and other lipids. This gene is associated with cold acclimation, salt response, abscisic acid response, embryogenesis, seed development, and response to thirst. It is linked to vesicle membrane and cytosol localization. TtLEA has been connected to salinity tolerance, germination rate, and seed germination. Studies of related genes in other species further link the family to abiotic stress responses.
