SUS2 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA02G005510 (SUS2, also known as CsSUS3) encodes a sucrose synthase with sucrose synthase activity (EC 2.4.1.13) and transglycosidase activity, belonging to the sucrose synthase family. In Camelina sativa, this gene is associated with sucrose and starch metabolism, secondary metabolism, detoxification, and responses to carbon dioxide, anoxia, mannitol, and salt. It is also linked to protein tetramerization, nodulation, and NO storage. Associations with root length, seed development timing, guard cell starch accumulation, cellulose biosynthesis, lipid content, and metabolic homeostasis have been observed. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to dehydration stress response and tolerance, starch biosynthesis, seed development, and seed storage product biosynthesis.
