LEA — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD6BV1G204340, also known as TtLEA, encodes a dehydrin family protein in durum wheat on chromosome 6B. The product is a dehydrin characterized by a dehydrin conserved sequence and binds lipids, including phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidate, and phosphoinositides. This gene 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. TtLEA is linked to salinity tolerance, germination rate, and seed germination.
