BBM — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3010G215100, designated SbBBM, encodes a transcription factor containing an AP2/ERF DNA-binding domain. This sorghum gene on chromosome 10 is associated with the regulation of seed development, endosperm development, and starch biosynthetic processes. It has been linked to leaf phyllotactic patterning, maintenance of shoot apical meristem identity, and organ morphogenesis. Associations include regulation of secondary cell wall biogenesis, callus formation, and adventitious root development. The gene is connected to agronomic traits including grain yield, plant height, lignin content, and disease tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to root stem cell maintenance, floral organ development, seed dormancy, and salt tolerance.
