CCT — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_18G232900V4, designated GmCCT, encodes a Mediator complex subunit of the Med12 family and is annotated as a transcriptional co-regulator. Localised to the nucleus and the Mediator complex, this soybean gene on chromosome 18 is associated with photoperiodism and flowering, seed development, temporal regulation of development, and regulation of radial pattern formation. It has been connected to seed weight, protein content, and zinc concentration, as well as to systemic acquired resistance, salicylic acid accumulation, vegetative phase change, leaf morphology, root hair development, and light-induced gene expression. Additional associations include heme anabolism, lipid metabolism, immune response, hypersensitivity, secretion, proteolysis, cell communication, and homeostasis. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to flowering time, seed protein content, root architecture, and cold response.
