CCT — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C006111.2, designated CmCCT on melon chromosome 7, encodes a transcriptional co-regulator that is a component of the Mediator complex and localises to the nucleus. The gene is associated with the regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, photoperiodism and flowering, temporal regulation of development, and regulation of radial pattern formation. It is linked to juvenile-to-adult vegetative phase transition, leaf morphology, root hair development, systemic acquired resistance, light-induced gene expression, and salicylic acid accumulation. Related genes in other species are associated with flowering time, germination, cold response, embryo patterning, root architecture, and traits such as flowering time, leaf morphology, flavonoid content, and root hair length.
