CCT — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoCCT, encoded by gene BOLC102_C09P000410.1 on cabbage chromosome 9, is a transcriptional co-regulator and a member of the Mediator complex subunit Med12 family. It localises to the nucleus and the Mediator complex. This gene is associated with the regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, circadian rhythm, photoperiodic flowering, temporal regulation of development, and the regulation of radial pattern formation and growth. It has also been connected to lipid metabolism and oxidation, cell cycle, chromosome localisation, defence response, and response to heat. Associations with traits include nitrate content, and with phenotypes such as systemic acquired resistance, salicylic acid accumulation, juvenile-to-adult vegetative phase transition, leaf morphology, root hair development, and light-induced gene expression. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to flowering time, root architecture, and seed weight.
