AFB1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD7AV1G056050, designated AFB1 in durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum) on chromosome 7A, encodes a transport inhibitor response 1-like protein with auxin receptor activity, auxin binding, and IP6 binding functions. It belongs to the F-box and leucine-rich repeat protein family. This gene is associated with auxin signaling, SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein breakdown, and protein ubiquitination. It is associated with defense response, defense response to insect, and regulation of jasmonic acid-mediated signaling pathway. Additional associations include seed development, pollen maturation, response to jasmonic acid, aflatoxin anabolism, and NO storage. The encoded protein localizes to the nucleus and SCF complex. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to jasmonate signaling and defense responses.
