MTB (TRAESCS4D02G311200) — triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS4D02G311200, designated TaMTB on wheat chromosome 4D, encodes a methyltransferase-like protein 1 with mRNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase activity and belongs to the METTL14-like and MT-A70-like domain families. The gene is associated with RNA methylation, mRNA modification and processing, and embryo development ending in seed dormancy. Its product localises to the nucleus and the WMM complex. TaMTB is associated with salt stress tolerance, vascular formation, and wheat yellow mosaic virus resistance. Related genes in other species link the family to methyltransferase activity (EC 2.1.1.348), and to BYDV resistance, anthesis time, seed germination, and salt tolerance.
