FUS3 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsFUS3 (CSA04556S010) encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor with protein serine/threonine kinase activity, localised to the nucleus, cytosol and Golgi complex. In Camelina sativa, it is associated with negative regulation of gibberellin biosynthesis, positive regulation of abscisic acid anabolism, regulation of embryonic development, seed dormancy, vegetative phase change, leaf senescence, xylem development, primary root development, and responses to hypoxia, glucose, and herbicide. It is linked to seed yield, seed weight, drought tolerance, submergence tolerance, high temperature stress response, oxidative stress response, flowering time, stem senescence, and plant morphology traits. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to somatic embryogenesis, seed maturation, triacylglycerol accumulation, seed storage protein expression, and developmental timing.
