Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS3D02G129900
• Gene Symbol: TaABCC3.2
• Gene Name: ABC transporter C family member 3 protein 2
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• Two variants of an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family C transporter gene were cloned from DON-treated wheat mRNA, namely TaABCC3.1 and TaABCC3.2. These represent two of three putative genes identified on chromosomes 3A, 3B, and 3D of the wheat genome sequence.
• Silencing by both VIGS constructs enhanced head ripening, and especially so in DON-treated heads. VIGS of TaABCC3 genes also reduced the grain number by more than 28% (P<0.05), both with and without DON treatment, and the effects were greater for the construct that targeted the two homeologues.
• Hence, DON-responsive TaABCC3 genes warrant further study to determine their potential as disease resistance breeding targets and their function in grain formation and ripening.
• Phylogenetic and predictive model analyses of these genes has increased our understanding of wheat ABC transporters, and modelling suggested that TaABCC3.1 and its homologue TaABCC3.2 encode ABC exporters that differ in the N-terminal transmembrane domain 0 (TMD0).
