G2 — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3005G168700, designated SbG2 on sorghum chromosome 5, encodes a 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthase, an enzyme classified under EC 2.3.1.199 and associated with the ELOVL family. This gene is linked to wax anabolism, anthocyanin anabolism, and fatty acid anabolism, as well as to pigmentation, UV protection, nitrogen fixation, and NO storage. The encoded product is localized to the membrane. Related genes in other species connect the family to cuticular wax biosynthesis and stress responses.
