Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesFLD5D01G558600
• Gene Symbol: TaSPL6-D
• Gene Name: SQUAMOSA PROMOTER-BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE 6
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• Variation in TaSPL6-D confers salinity tolerance in bread wheat by activating TaHKT1;5-D while preserving yield-related trait.
• A 47-bp insertion in the frst exon of TaSPL6-D resulted in a truncated peptide, TaSPL6-DIn, disrupting TaHKT1;5-D repression exhibited by TaSPL6-DDel.
• Knockout of TaSPL6-DDel in two wheat genotypes enhanced salinity tolerance, which was attenuated by a further TaHKT1;5-D knockdown.
• TaSPL6-DIn was mainly present in landraces, and molecular-assisted introduction of TaSPL6-DInfrom a landrace into a leading wheat cultivar successfully improved yield on saline soils.
• The SPL6-HKT1;5 module ofers a target for the molecular breeding of salt-tolerant crops.
