NAM-B1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD6BV1G045680, also known as NAM-B1 or TtONAC010, encodes a NAC domain-containing protein that localises to the nucleus and binds DNA, consistent with a role in regulating DNA-templated transcription. In durum wheat, this gene is associated with system development, reproductive structure development, anther development, pollen development, and post-embryonic development. It has been linked to grain protein content, grain size, grain weight, grain yield, seed size, seed chalkiness, and starch content. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to flag leaf senescence, spike density, spikelet number, grain shape, grain texture, grain length, grain width, and plant height.
