LPP2 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsLPP2 (CSA03G018880) encodes a protein with phosphatidate phosphatase and acid phosphatase activities, belonging to the PAP2/HPO family. In Camelina sativa, this gene is associated with phospholipid dephosphorylation, triglyceride anabolism, seed development, and ABA signaling, and its product localizes to the membrane and cytoplasm. CsLPP2 has been connected to photosynthetic rate, stomatal resistance, seed size, seed dormancy, flowering time, and seed yield, as well as energy output, growth rate, ATP and sugar content, carbon metabolism, and protein import into chloroplasts. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to ABA sensitivity during germination, seed germination, pathogen susceptibility, bolting time, biomass, and photosynthesis rate, as well as tuber development and morphology, and lateral root formation and anthocyanin accumulation.
