Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: TaGAD1
  • Gene Name: glutamate decarboxylase 1
  • Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
  • Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

  • The potassium transporter TaNHX2 interacts with TaGAD1 to promote drought tolerance via modulating stomatal aperture in wheat.
  • TaGAD1, a key enzyme that synthesizes GABA from glutamate.
  • Consistent with this, the tanhx2 and TaGAD1 mutants showed reduced drought tolerance, and transgenic wheat with enhanced TaNHX2 expression had a yield advantage under water deficit without growth penalty.
  • These results shed light on the plant stomatal movement mechanism under drought stress and the TaNHX2-TaGAD1 module may be harnessed for amelioration of negative environmental effects in wheat as well as other crops.
