CCT — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_09G259400V4, designated GmCCT, encodes a Mediator complex subunit Med12 family protein and is annotated as a transcriptional co-regulator. This soybean gene on chromosome 9 is associated with the Mediator complex and nuclear localisation. GmCCT is linked to photoperiodism and flowering, seed development, immune response, and regulation of radial pattern formation. It is also associated with temporal regulation of development, cell communication, heme anabolism, secretion, hypersensitivity, lipid metabolism, regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, homeostasis, and proteolysis. Associations with agronomically relevant traits include seed weight, protein content, and zinc concentration. Phenotypic connections involve systemic acquired resistance, juvenile-to-adult transition, leaf morphology, vegetative phase change, root hair development, light-induced gene expression, and salicylic acid accumulation. Studies of related genes in other species link the Med12 family to flowering time and root architecture.
