Encodes a gene induced by low temperature and dehydration. Inhibits e.coli growth while overexpressed. Belongs to the dehydrin protein family, which contains highly conserved stretches of 7-17 residues that are repetitively scattered in their sequences, the K-, S-, Y- and lysine rich segments. LTI29 and LTI30 double overexpressors confer cold tolerance. Localized to membranes and cytoplasm.
