PDF1 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsPDF1 (CSA04G059430) on Camelina sativa chromosome 4 encodes a protodermal-1 family protein, characterised by the PDF1_C domain. The gene is associated with wax anabolism and has been linked to photosynthetic rate, specifically CO2-centred measurements. Its product localises to the extracellular region and the nucleus, and is connected to protodermal development and L1 layer-specific expression. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to zinc tolerance, pathogen resistance, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, and disease resistance. The family has also been connected to traits including net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, leaf shape, seed dormancy, and disease tolerance.
