YR5 (TRAESCS4A02G393700) — triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS4A02G393700, designated TaYR5 or YR5 on wheat chromosome 4A, encodes a protein containing an Rx_N domain and is associated with nucleotide binding. The gene is linked to defense response, cell death, signal transduction, transport, lipid metabolism, cellular homeostasis, and cell communication. TaYR5 has been connected to stripe rust resistance and growth stage traits, and is expressed in various tissues including leaf lamina, cotyledon, flower, stamen, pollen, and at multiple developmental stages from germinated pollen to flowering. Coexpression studies across wheat cultivars such as Norin61, Jagger, Stanley, Landmark, Lancer, Julius, Mace, and ArinalrFor support these associations. Related genes in other species link the family to disease resistance N-terminal domain-containing proteins.
