CCT — Zea mays

Summary

ZM00001EB245130, designated ZmCCT, encodes a transcriptional co-regulator and a component of the RNA polymerase II transcription mediator complex. This maize gene on chromosome 5 is associated with the Mediator Complex and localises to the nucleus. ZmCCT is associated with photoperiodism and the temporal regulation of development, including flowering time and vegetative phase change. It is linked to ear diameter, zinc concentration, ear length, leaf number, meristem identity, heat tolerance, root length, grain weight, anthesis time, plant height, grain yield, salt tolerance, and drought tolerance. Related genes in other species are linked to root architecture, germination, cold response, and embryo patterning.
