AGD2 (TRAESCS4A02G043800) — triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS4A02G043800 (symbols AGD2, ALD1, TaAGD2-4A, TaEDTS5-4A) on wheat chromosome 4A encodes an aminotransferase class I/II large domain-containing protein with L-lysine:pyruvate alpha-transaminase, LL-diaminopimelate aminotransferase, and multiple prephenate transaminase activities, and belongs to the DapL/ALD1 family. This gene is associated with systemic acquired resistance and salicylic acid-mediated signaling, L-pipecolate biosynthesis, and L-phenylalanine anabolism. It is linked to grain yield, plant height, spike length, harvest index, drought tolerance, stripe rust and powdery mildew disease response, net photosynthetic rate, quantum yield, transpiration rate, and herbicide sensitivity. Additional associations include meristem growth and structural organization, root cap and inflorescence development, male and female gamete generation, and response to abiotic stimuli. The protein localizes to chloroplast stroma, plastid, nucleus, and plasmalemma.
