G2 — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3010G181500 (SbG2) on sorghum chromosome 10 encodes a protein with domains including ACP_syn_III_C, 3-ktacl-CoA_syn, FAE1_typ3_polyketide_synth, and Thiolase-like, and is annotated with acetoacetyl-CoA reductase, trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase (NADPH), ketoreductase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase, and protein kinase activities. The gene is associated with very-long-chain fatty acid elongation and metabolism, wax and suberin biosynthesis, cutin-based cuticle development, sphingolipid metabolism, pigmentation, UV protection, trichome papilla formation and branching, pollen tube development, cellular response to cold, nitrogen fixation, and regulation of cell division. It localizes to the fatty acid elongase complex, ER membrane, chloroplast membranes, cell wall, and mitochondria. SbG2 is linked to traits including drought and salt tolerance, male sterility, flowering time, leaf vein morphology, root thickness and mass density, manganese sensitivity, and high temperature and oxidative stress responses.
