Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS4D02G026700
• Gene Symbol: BGC1-D
• Gene Name: B-GRANULE CONTENT 1
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• A carbohydrate-binding protein, B-GRANULE CONTENT 1, influences starch granule size distribution in a dose-dependent manner in polyploid wheat.
• It is likely that the production of B-granule-less starch involves a delicate balance between the amount of BGC1 and that of one or more of its interacting partners.
• A gene encoding a PTST-family protein is a strong candidate for BGC1.
• We uncovered a more complex biological role for BGC1 in starch granule initiation:BGC1 represses the initiation of A-granules in early grain development but promotes the initiation of B-granules in mid grain development.
