CCT — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_010G099000, designated PvCCT, encodes a Mediator complex subunit of the Med12 family and is annotated as a transcriptional co-regulator. Located in the nucleus as part of the Mediator complex, this French bean gene on chromosome 10 is associated with regulation of radial pattern formation, temporal development, photoperiodism and flowering, regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, and seed germination. PvCCT is also associated with systemic acquired resistance, juvenile-to-adult transition, leaf morphology, vegetative phase change, root hair development, light-induced gene expression, and salicylic acid accumulation. Related genes in other species are linked to flowering time, root architecture, cold response, embryo patterning, and dwarf late-flowering phenotypes, as well as to seed weight, seed protein content, zinc concentration, root morphology, and leaf morphology.
