SHD — triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS7A02G529900, designated TaSHD and also known as TaHSP90.7-7A, encodes a member of the heat shock protein 90 family, containing Hsp90 and HATPase domains, and exhibits ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone activity. The gene is associated with a wide range of biological processes including vesicle organization, protein secretion, thylakoid membrane organization, de-etiolation, and defense responses to insects. It is linked to traits such as heat tolerance, stem rust and stripe rust responses, seed set percent, germination rate, root development, and maturity time. Localization evidence connects the product to the endoplasmic reticulum lumen, chloroplast thylakoid and inner membrane, and the Tic complex. Related genes in other species are linked to endoplasmic reticulum function, thermotolerance, and broad-spectrum disease resistance.
