CRB — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsCRB (CSA03G012710) on Camelina sativa chromosome 3 encodes a protein with an epimerase/dehydratase domain and NAD(P)-binding domain superfamily, and exhibits DNA binding transcription factor activity, RNA binding, poly(U) binding, heteroglycan binding, and protein binding. The gene is associated with plastid translation, rRNA processing, chloroplast organization, response to light intensity, regulation of photomorphogenesis, entrainment of circadian clock, photoperiodism and flowering, regulation of stomatal movement, polar cell growth, cellular response to drought, response to wounding, and response to auxin. It localizes to the plastid nucleoid, plastid-encoded RNA polymerase complex, stromule, chloroplast thylakoid, envelope, and apoplast. CsCRB is associated with traits including hybrid incompatibility, leaf drying, starch mobilization, seed protein content, photoperiod sensitivity, flowering time, seedling hypocotyl length, leaf senescence, chloroplast development, and seed viability. Related genes in other species link the family to plastid gene expression, photosystem II efficiency, and photosynthetic electron transport.
