CCT — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoCCT (BOLC102_C03P041140.1_BOLC102_V1) on cabbage chromosome 3 encodes a transcriptional co-regulator belonging to the Mediator complex subunit Med12 family. The gene is associated with the Mediator complex and nuclear localisation, and has been linked to regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, circadian rhythm, photoperiodism and flowering, temporal regulation of development, regulation of growth, cell cycle, response to heat, defense response, lipid oxidation and metabolism, chromosome localisation, and regulation of radial pattern formation. Associations also include systemic acquired resistance, salicylic acid accumulation, juvenile-to-adult vegetative phase transition, leaf morphology, root hair development, light-induced gene expression, and nitrate content. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to flowering time, root architecture, seed weight, leaf shape, and cold response.
