PHS1 — triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS7B02G132000, designated TaPHS1 on wheat chromosome 7B, encodes a PH_PHS1 domain-containing protein. The gene is associated with pre-harvest sprouting, seed dormancy, and sprouting tolerance, as well as with seed and grain traits including color, size, weight, viability, and starch content. It is also linked to floral and meristem identity, flower development, organ specification, and plant height. Additional associations include grain yield, anthesis time, drought tolerance, and the 1BL/1RS translocation. The gene has been linked to seed germination, cell division, homologous chromosome pairing, DNA recombination, protein metabolism, and catabolism. Related genes in other species link the family to homologous chromosome pairing, meiosis, and development.
