CCT — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3001G540400 (SbCCT) encodes a Mediator complex subunit Med12 family protein and is annotated as a transcriptional co-regulator. The gene is associated with the Mediator complex and nuclear localisation. It is linked to regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, photoperiodism and flowering, temporal regulation of development, and cell communication. Associations with anthesis time and plant height have been recorded, along with connections to leaf morphology, juvenile-to-adult vegetative phase transition, root hair development, light-induced gene expression, and systemic acquired resistance involving salicylic acid accumulation. Related genes in other species are linked to flowering time, germination, root architecture, and embryo patterning, as well as grain yield, grain weight, ear diameter and length, drought tolerance, heat tolerance, seed germination, and root morphology traits.
