GT1 — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SbGT1 (SORBI_3003G120700) on sorghum chromosome 3 encodes a glycosyl transferase family 1 domain-containing protein with transglycosidase activity. The gene is associated with embryogenesis and localises to the trans-Golgi network, endosome, and Golgi complex. It has been linked to decreased sensitivity to cold and oxidative stress, as well as grain and mitosis-related processes. Related genes in other species connect the family to growth, stress responses, pollen development, and reproductive traits, as well as inflorescence branching, flavonoid content, spikelet number, ear number, tiller number, and grain number.
