RPS12 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_0625S0020, designated RPS12 (MtRPS12) in barrel medic (Medicago truncatula, chromosome scaffold0625), encodes a ribosomal protein of the uS12 family, characterized by a Ribosomal_S12_bac domain and an OB-fold nucleic-acid-binding domain. The gene product is a structural constituent of the ribosome, localizes to the small ribosomal subunit, and is associated with rRNA binding and translation. RPS12 is linked to the related gene LOC113784461, which centres on the US12CY protein. No agronomically meaningful traits such as yield, stress tolerance, or seed characteristics are directly associated with this gene in the current evidence.
