G2 — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3010G273200 (SbG2) on sorghum chromosome 10 encodes a FAE domain-containing protein with 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthase and thiolase-like domains, and has been annotated with multiple enzyme activities including acetoacetyl-CoA reductase, trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase (NADPH), ketoreductase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase, and acyltransferase activities. The gene is associated with very-long-chain fatty acid anabolism and metabolism, fatty acid elongation, wax and suberin biosynthesis, cuticle development, sphingolipid metabolism, pigmentation, UV protection, trichome papilla formation and branching, pollen tube development, cellular response to cold, and regulation of cell division. It localizes to the ER membrane, fatty acid elongase complex, cell wall, chloroplast membranes, mitochondria, and cytosol. SbG2 is associated with traits including drought tolerance, salt tolerance, disease tolerance, flowering time, male sterility, leaf vein morphology, root morphology, biomass, chilling tolerance, and high temperature stress response.
