ABCC13 — triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS6D02G000300 (symbol ABCC13, preferred name TaABCC8) on bread wheat chromosome 6D encodes an uncharacterized protein with ABC transporter family domains and ATP hydrolase activity. The gene is associated with aluminium ion transmembrane transport and detoxification, UDP-glucose and phosphate transmembrane transport, and cellular homeostasis. It is linked to seed development and growth traits. The encoded protein localises to the tonoplast, vesicle membrane, and ABC transporter complex. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to aluminium tolerance and seed development, though these functions are not yet established in wheat.
