CCR — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3003G116800 (SbCCR) encodes a 3-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/isomerase domain-containing protein with cinnamoyl-CoA reductase activity, as well as flavanone 4-reductase and dihydroflavanol 4-reductase activities. This sorghum gene on chromosome 3 is associated with downregulation of circadian rhythm, primary metabolism, steroidogenesis, starch metabolism, sucrose metabolism, green leaf volatile biosynthetic process, anthocyanin anabolism, phenylpropanoid anabolism, lignin anabolism, starch anabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, circadian rhythm, response to cold, and defense response. It has been linked to IAA content, grain filling period, photosynthetic rate, lignin biosynthesis, etioplast development, chloroplast development, coumarin accumulation, lignin content, saccharification yield, plant growth, leaf virescence, plastid biogenesis, male sterility, cold stress response, drought response, sinapoyl malate accumulation, senescence, secondary cell wall morphology, immunity, lignification, and salt tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to cell wall degradability, disease resistance, stem physical properties, and yield-related traits.
