MED25 — Triticum aestivum

Summary

TRAESCS5D02G184100, designated TaMED25, encodes a Mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription subunit 25, a component of the Mediator complex. This gene is associated with positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, immune response, and virus-induced post-transcriptional gene silencing. TaMED25 has been connected to powdery mildew resistance and wheat powdery mildew disease response in bread wheat. The encoded protein localises to the transcription regulator complex and Mediator complex. TaMED25 is also linked to the WD40-repeat-containing gene DAW1 and to meiotic co-expression networks.
