RAD — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA01G041460 (RAD, also known as CsRL4) in Camelina sativa encodes a RADIALIS-like protein containing a SANT/Myb domain and homeodomain-like superfamily fold, with DNA binding transcription factor activity. It is associated with flower development, determination of dorsoventral asymmetry, and DNA-dependent transcription. The protein localises to both the nucleus and cytosol. This gene is associated with drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the RADIALIS family to similar developmental and stress-response processes, though these associations are not yet established in Camelina sativa itself.
