Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS5D02G383500
• Gene Symbol: TaNCED2
• Gene Name: 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase2
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• The present study identified the complete coding sequences of a second NCED gene, designated as TaNCED2, and its homeologues (TaNCED2A, TaNCED2B and TaNCED2D) in hexaploid wheat, and characterized its functionality in seed dormancy and leaf dehydration tolerance using the TaNCED2A homeologue.
• Ectopic expression of TaNCED2A and TaCYP707A1B in Arabidopsis resulted in altered seed ABA level and dormancy with no effect on leaf ABA content and transpirational water loss.
• Identified the complete CDS of a second NCED gene, designated as TaNCED2, and its three homeologues from hexaploid wheat, and investigated the function of one of its homeologue with respect to seed dormancy and leaf dehydration using heterologous expression in Arabidopsis.
• To gain insights into the physiological roles of TaNCED2 and TaCYP707A1 in wheat, the study examined their spatiotemporal expression patterns and determined the genomic contributions of transcripts to their total expression.
