DOG1 (TRAESCS3B02G330400) — triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS3B02G330400, designated TaDOG1 (also known as GSQ5, TaGSQ5, TaGAAS5, and TaDOG1-3B), encodes a DOG1 domain-containing protein on bread wheat chromosome 3B. The product possesses sequence-specific DNA binding and protein binding activities, localizes to both the cytoplasm and nucleus, and is associated with seed dormancy, pre-harvest sprouting, seed maturation, and developmental processes. TaDOG1 is associated with abscisic acid signaling and response, sugar-mediated signaling, and DNA-dependent transcription. The gene has been connected to numerous traits including grain yield, grain protein, iron and zinc content, test weight, harvest index, drought sensitivity, osmotic adjustment, net photosynthetic rate, plant vigor, stand establishment, and days to maturity. Additional associations include rolled leaf, vivipary, seed thermoinhibition, germination timing, flowering time, and responses to cold and salinity stress.
