SK20 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MtSK20 (MTR_7G077810) on barrel medic chromosome 7 encodes a SKP1-like protein. The gene is associated with cullin family protein binding and protein binding. It is associated with protein ubiquitination, SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein breakdown, cell cycle, cell division, organ growth, leaf development, flower development, regulation of circadian rhythm, JA signaling, secretion, cell motility, and homeostasis. Localisation evidence places the product in the nucleus, cytosol, cytoplasm, and Cajal body. Trait associations include photoperiod-sensitive flowering time, seedling hypocotyl length, lateral root length, root mass density, leaf size, stomatal opening, and root morphology. Related genes in other species link the SKP1-like family to circadian clock regulation, flowering time, hypocotyl elongation, stomatal aperture, and osmotic stress response.
