CCT — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsCCT (CSA08G001530) on Camelina sativa chromosome 8 encodes a transcriptional co-regulator belonging to the Mediator_Med12 protein family. The gene product localises to the nucleus and the Mediator complex. It is associated with the regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, photoperiodism and flowering, temporal regulation of development, glucose homeostasis, response to fatty acid, and radial pattern formation. Associations also include systemic acquired resistance, salicylic acid accumulation, light-induced gene expression, juvenile-to-adult vegetative phase transition, leaf morphology, and root hair development. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to flowering time and root architecture.
