LEA — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum
Summary
TRITD6BV1G204270, designated TtLEA, encodes a dehydrin family protein on durum wheat chromosome 6B. The product exhibits lipid binding, including phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidate, and phosphoinositide binding. TtLEA is associated with cold acclimation, response to salt, response to abscisic acid, response to thirst, embryogenesis, seed development, and NO storage. It localizes to the vesicle membrane and cytosol. The gene has been connected to salinity tolerance, germination rate, and seed germination. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to stress-responsive pathways.
