CAM2 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsCAM2 (CSA04G043180) on Camelina sativa chromosome 4 encodes a calmodulin-5 protein containing EF-hand calcium-binding domains. The gene product is associated with calcium ion binding, kinase activity, and multiple transporter activities including auxin efflux, cadmium ion transmembrane transport, and ABC-type indole transport. CsCAM2 is associated with diverse biological processes such as cellular response to chitin, PTI signalling, regulation of defense response by callose deposition, cadmium transport, sodium ion homeostasis, and lipid oxidation. It is linked to traits including reproductive growth time, days to flowering, bacterial blight disease resistance, auxin and jasmonic acid sensitivity, stomatal opening and closure, root development and morphology, leaf morphology, and responses to high and low temperature stress, salt, and chromium. The gene localises to the endosome membrane, plasmodesma, chloroplast envelope, plant-type vacuole, and endoplasmic reticulum.
