CCT — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsCCT (CSA02G001490) on Camelina sativa chromosome 2 encodes a Mediator complex subunit of the Med12 family, functioning as a transcriptional co-regulator. The gene is associated with photoperiodism and flowering, temporal regulation of development, glucose homeostasis, response to fatty acid, and regulation of radial pattern formation. It has been associated with systemic acquired resistance, juvenile-to-adult vegetative phase transition, leaf morphology, root hair development, light-induced gene expression, and salicylic acid accumulation. The encoded protein localises to the nucleus and Mediator complex. Related genes in other species are linked to flowering time, root architecture, cold response, germination, embryo patterning, and traits including seed weight, leaf shape, nitrate content, and root hair length.
