LEC1 — Camelina sativa
Summary
CSA03G025850, designated CsLEC1, encodes a protein with a histone-fold domain and a CCAAT-binding factor NF-YB/HAP3 domain, possessing RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding and transcriptional co-regulator activities. In Camelina sativa, this gene is associated with the positive regulation of fatty acid and protein metabolism, photomorphogenesis, and blue light signaling, as well as the downregulation of flowering under long-day conditions. It is linked to embryo development, seed maturation, germination, and abscisic acid sensitivity. Associations extend to seed length, starch and protein content, leaf chlorosis, disease tolerance, and salt tolerance. The encoded protein localizes to the nucleus, plastid, and CCAAT-binding factor complex. Related genes in other species link the LEC1 family to somatic embryogenesis, seed oil content, seed weight, and pathogen resistance, and to seed protein content.
