CCT — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsCCT (CSA13G056960) on Camelina sativa chromosome 13 encodes a transcriptional co-regulator that is a member of the Mediator complex subunit MED12 family. The gene is associated with the Mediator complex and localised to the nucleus. It is associated with photoperiodism and flowering, temporal regulation of development, glucose homeostasis, response to fatty acid, and regulation of radial pattern formation. Associations also include systemic acquired resistance, juvenile-to-adult vegetative phase transition, leaf morphology, root hair development, and salicylic acid accumulation. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to flowering time, root architecture, cold response, germination, embryo patterning, and traits including seed weight, leaf shape, nitrate content, and root hair length.
