SHD — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD7AV1G270370 (symbol SHD, also known as TtSHD) on durum wheat chromosome 7A encodes a histidine kinase/HSP90-like ATPase domain-containing protein belonging to the Hsp90 family. The gene product is associated with ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone activity, CDP-glycerol diphosphatase activity, and 2',3'-cyclic-nucleotide 2'-phosphodiesterase activity. It is linked to chloroplast and thylakoid membrane organization, vesicle organization, protein secretion, de-etiolation, and defense response to insects. Associations include grain weight, seed set percent, seed viability, flowering time, maturity time, pollen fertility, root development, and responses to high temperature, salt, and bacterial disease. The gene is also connected to chloroplast development, plastid development, and vascular tissue morphology traits. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to mitochondrial function, thermotolerance, and disease resistance.
