CSA01G030760 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA01G030760 (VP1, also known as CsABI3) on Camelina sativa chromosome 1 encodes a B3 DNA-binding domain protein of the LEC2-like family, with annotated molecular functions including sequence-specific DNA binding, transcription coactivator activity, and phytochrome binding. The gene is associated with positive regulation of seed maturation, cellular response to gibberellin stimulus, and regulation of triglyceride catabolic process. It has been linked to numerous agronomic traits including seedling vigor, seed set percent, linoleic and linolenic acid content, vegetative vigor, water stress response, photoperiod sensitivity, and cadmium concentration. Additional associations include plant male sterility, anther and stamen morphology, petal morphology and length, leaf trichome density, and aluminum response. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to seed development, abscisic acid responsiveness, desiccation tolerance, seed longevity, oil accumulation, and seed degreening.
