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.
