GPPS — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsGPPS (CSA04G046890) on Camelina sativa chromosome 4 encodes a polyprenyl synthetase with geranyltranstransferase, farnesyltranstransferase, and dimethylallyltransferase activities, and is annotated with all-trans-nonaprenyl-diphosphate synthase (geranyl-diphosphate specific) activity. This gene is associated with terpenoid, isoprenoid, carotenoid, plastoquinone, and ubiquinone anabolism, as well as responses to herbivores, insects, salicylic acid, and jasmonic acid. It localizes to the chloroplast stroma, plastid, and mitochondria, and is linked to embryo development ending in seed dormancy. Related genes in other species are associated with starch and sugar content traits.
