PIP2 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsPIP2 (CSA04G050730) in Camelina sativa encodes a member of the aquaporin family, possessing water channel activity, phospholipase D activity, and protein kinase activity. This gene is associated with a wide range of biological processes, including regulation of stomatal closure, response to desiccation, brassinosteroid and abscisic acid signaling, antiviral response, and circadian regulation. It is linked to traits such as photosynthetic rate, sodium uptake, cadmium concentration, root hair length, flowering time, and responses to phosphorus, ethylene, and low temperature stress. CsPIP2 is also associated with phenotypes including drought, salt, freezing, and oxidative stress tolerance, as well as disease resistance and susceptibility. The protein localizes to the plasma membrane, plasmodesmata, endoplasmic reticulum, and plant-type vacuole, and is involved in pathways for arsenic uptake and heavy metal response.
