GTR2 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsGTR2 (CSA02G070890) on Camelina sativa chromosome 2 encodes a glucosinolate:proton symporter belonging to the POT family and the major facilitator superfamily, with transmembrane transporter activity. The gene is associated with phloem glucosinolate loading and localises to the membrane, plasmalemma and plasmodesmata. It has been linked to glucosinolate accumulation, transport and distribution, including in seeds, as well as to aphid resistance. Related genes in other species connect the family to long-distance transport of aliphatic glucosinolates, and sequence similarity links CsGTR2 to nitrate uptake and aphid response traits.
