MTP7 — Sorghum bicolor
Summary
SORBI_3006G039400, designated SbMTP7 on sorghum chromosome 6, encodes a member of the SLC30A9 cation efflux family with transmembrane cation transporter and efflux permease activities. The gene is associated with cellular zinc ion homeostasis, zinc transport, and membrane transport, and its product localises to the vacuolar membrane and endoplasmic reticulum. SbMTP7 is associated with anthesis time and plant height. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to grain zinc and iron content, and sequence similarity evidence connects the family to zinc content and grain protein content traits.
