CRB — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsCRB (CSA03G005050) on Camelina sativa chromosome 3 encodes a seed storage protein belonging to the 11S globulin (cruciferin) family, with cupin domains and nutrient reservoir activity, and is annotated for IgG and IgE binding. The gene is associated with seed development, seed germination, protein homotrimerization, and cellular response to abscisic acid stimulus, and its product localizes to the rough endoplasmic reticulum and extraorganismal space. CsCRB has been connected to seed storage protein accumulation and to seed protein content. Related genes in other species link the family to seed maturation, seed viability, seed longevity, amino acid content, drought tolerance, salt response, and heterosis.
