Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: TaADF4
• Gene Name: actin-depolymerizing factor 4
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• TaADF4, an actin-depolymerizing factor from wheat, is required for resistance to the stripe rust pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici.
• TaADF4 encodes a 139-amino-acid protein containing five F-actin-binding sites and two G-actin-binding sites, and interacts with wheat (Triticum aestivum) Actin1 (TaACT1), in planta.
• Silencing of TaADF4 resulted in enhanced susceptibility to CYR23, demonstrating a role for TaADF4 in defense signaling.
• These data support the hypothesis that TaADF4 positively modulates plant immunity in wheat via the modulation of actin cytoskeletal organization.
