TT8 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsTT8 (CSA02G028180) on Camelina sativa chromosome 2 encodes a protein with a MYC/MYB_N domain, a bHLH domain, and HLH DNA-binding superfamily domain, and has DNA-binding and protein-dimerization activity. It is associated with regulation of flavonoid, proanthocyanidin, and anthocyanin anabolism, downregulation of sinapate ester anabolism, sucrose-mediated signaling, response to dexamethasone, plant epidermal cell fate specification, removal of O2-, cell fate commitment, regulation of protein localization, mucilage anabolism during seed coat development, regulation of phenylpropanoid metabolism, regulation of primary metabolic process, trichome differentiation, anthocyanin metabolism, and regulation of secondary cell wall biogenesis. The gene is linked to stem dry weight, root epidermal cell length, flavonoid content, seed coat color, root hair density, seed coat morphology, relative growth rate, UV light sensitivity, cadmium concentration, lignin biosynthesis, oleic acid content, phototropism response, biotic plant stress, UV-B light sensitivity, seed weight, insect damage response, germination rate, root hair length, trichome morphology, plant stress response, high temperature stress response, abiotic plant stress response, anthocyanin content, root meristem development, plant height, low temperature stress response, seedling growth and development, oxidative stress response, root thickness, and seed growth and development. The protein localizes to the cytoplasm and nucleus. Studies of
