CAM1 — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3001G261200 (SbCAM1) on sorghum chromosome 1 encodes a protein with MFS sugar transport-like domains and multiple annotated molecular functions including vitamin Bt transporter, S-nitrosoglutathione reductase, carbohydrate transmembrane transporter, ion channel, and chaperone-binding activities. The gene is associated with diverse biological processes such as cadaverine transport, methanal metabolism, phosphate ion transport, cellular responses to cold, drought, and salinity, floral organ and leaf senescence, ERAD pathway, lignin anabolism, arbuscular mycorrhizae formation, and ethylene-mediated signaling. It is linked to traits including iron sensitivity and concentration, axillary bud morphology, shoot branching, stem elongation, stomatal closure and opening, photosynthetic rate, flowering time, root development and thickness, abscisic acid sensitivity, and disease tolerance. Localization evidence connects the product to the periarbuscular membrane, tonoplast, chloroplast envelope, plastid, mitochondria, and chromatin.
