EPSPS — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD7BV1G051490 (EPSPS) on durum wheat chromosome 7B encodes an enolpyruvate transferase domain-containing protein with 3-phosphoshikimate 1-carboxyvinyltransferase activity. This gene is associated with the shikimate pathway, response to herbicide, green leaf volatile biosynthetic process, aromatic amino acid family anabolism, amino acid anabolism, and circadian rhythm. It localizes to the chloroplast (GO:0009507). Studies of related genes in other species, such as EPSP synthase and EPSPS-1, connect this family to the same enzyme class (EC 2.5.1.19).
