PP1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD6BV1G221560, also known as TtPP1, encodes a protein with protein serine/threonine phosphatase activity (EC 3.1.3.16) and is a component of the protein phosphatase type 1 complex. This durum wheat gene on chromosome 6B is associated with diverse biological processes including auxin export across the plasma membrane, regulation of epidermal cell division, root hair tip growth, trichome differentiation, gibberellic acid homeostasis, and cellular responses to abscisic acid and chitin. It has been linked to traits such as leaf morphology, root epidermal cell length, bacterial blight disease resistance, seed set percent, phototropism, temperature stress response, plant male sterility, and shoot system elongation. The gene is also connected to phenotypes including root hair density and length, lateral root development, auxin transport and distribution, phyllotaxis, and shoot apical meristem size.
