Gene Details:
- Gene ID:
- Gene Symbol: NtLTP1
- Gene Name: Non-specific lipid-transfer protein
- Genome:
- Species: Nicotiana tabacum
Functional Descriptions:
- Tobacco NtLTP1, a glandular-specific lipid transfer protein, is required for lipid secretion from glandular trichomes.
- Nicotiana tabacum LTP1 (NtLTP1) gene, which is specifically expressed in long glandular trichomes, plays a role in lipid secretion from trichome heads.
- The overexpression of NtLTP1 in transgenic tobacco plants resulted in the increased secretion of trichome exudates, including epicuticular wax.
- These data suggest that NtLTP1 is abundantly expressed in long glandular trichomes, and may play a role in lipid secretion from long glandular trichomes.
