MPK5 (TRAESCS4D02G198600) — triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS4D02G198600, symbol MPK5 and also known as TaMPK3 in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) on chromosome 4D, encodes a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) with MAPKK activity, protein serine/threonine kinase activity, and protein tyrosine kinase activity, and contains a MAP_kinase domain. This gene is associated with thousand grain weight, grain width, grain yield, and grain weight, as well as drought tolerance, salinity tolerance, heat tolerance, stripe rust, and abscisic acid sensitivity. It is linked to the MAPK cascade, response to UV-C, response to karrikin, response to nitrate, response to abiotic stimulus, activation of salinity response, positive regulation of flavonoid anabolism, and regulation of the hypersensitive response. The encoded protein localizes to the cytoplasm and nucleus. Related genes in other species are linked to freezing tolerance and black point incidence.
