RLK — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsRLK (CSA02G075410) on Camelina sativa chromosome 2 encodes a protein with leucine-rich repeats, a protein kinase domain, and a PRK1-6/SRF4-like domain, and is annotated with transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase activity. It is associated with regulation of floral meristem size, specification of floral organ number, gametophyte and embryo sac development, stomatal complex morphogenesis, cold acclimation, activation of salinity response, hormone-mediated signalling, response to other organisms, and post-embryonic plant organ development. Its product localises to the membrane, plasmalemma, and extracellular region. Related genes in other species link the family to low nitrogen stress tolerance, plant height, root length, drought tolerance, and stem elongation.
