BBM — Sorghum bicolor
Summary
SbBBM (SORBI_3006G245500) on sorghum chromosome 6 encodes a transcription factor with DNA-binding and protein-binding activity, belonging to the AP2/ERF domain family. In sorghum, it is associated with the regulation of seed and endosperm development, embryonic development, shoot apical meristem identity maintenance, phyllotactic patterning, organ morphogenesis, callus formation, adventitious root development, stem cell population maintenance, secondary cell wall biogenesis, starch biosynthesis, and cytokinin signalling. It has also been linked to grain yield, plant height, lignin content, and disease tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to root stem cell maintenance, floral organ development, somatic embryogenesis, regeneration capacity, and responses to abscisic acid and salt stress.
