ACS1 (TRAESCS2D02G394200) — triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS2D02G394200 (TaACS1) on wheat chromosome 2D encodes a 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase and is annotated with transaminase activity, phosphatase activity, and protein kinase binding. The gene is associated with ethylene production, ACC accumulation, and responses to waterlogging, hypoxia, salinity, cadmium, iron deficiency, nitrogen starvation, and wounding. TaACS1 is linked to stripe rust and powdery mildew disease responses, as well as to traits including seed yield, leaf chlorophyll content, anthocyanin content, sucrose and fructose content, vegetative vigor, shoot branching, root meristem development, stomatal closure, and brassinosteroid sensitivity. The protein localises to the plastid, mitochondria, cytosol, plasmalemma, Golgi, vacuole, cell wall and plasmodesmata, and is associated with stress-activated MAPK cascades, defense callose deposition, and regulation of abscisic acid signalling.
