Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS2D02G541800
• Gene Symbol: TaPI4KIIγ
• Gene Name: type II PI4K
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• A stress-inducible type II PI4K gene, named TaPI4KIIγ, was obtained by de novo transcriptome sequencing of drought-treated wheat (Triticum aestivum).
• TaPI4KIIγ, localized on the plasma membrane, underwent threonine autophosphorylation, but had no detectable lipid kinase activity. Interaction of TaPI4KIIγ with wheat ubiquitin fusion degradation protein (TaUDF1) indicated that it might be hydrolysed by the proteinase system.
• Overexpression of TaPI4KIIγ revealed that it could enhance drought and salt stress tolerance during seed germination and seedling growth.
• Overexpression of TaPI4KIIγ led to an altered expression level of stress-related genes and changes in several physiological traits that made the plants more tolerant to stress.
• The results provided evidence that overexpression of TaPI4KIIγ could improve drought and salt tolerance.
