CRK — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsCRK3 (CSA05G002460) on Camelina sativa chromosome 5 encodes a protein with CDPK_Ser/Thr_kinases, EF-hand domains, and a protein kinase domain, and is annotated with calcium-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activity, calmodulin binding, calcium ion binding, glutamine synthetase activity, and structural constituent of cytoskeleton. The gene is associated with nitrate assimilation, microtubule-based processes, cold acclimation, intracellular signal transduction, leaf senescence, activation of salinity response, defence response to fungi, and response to thirst. It has been linked to traits including drought tolerance, salt tolerance (SALTTL), low temperature stress response, vegetative growth time, root development, callus induction, and glutamine synthetase content. Localisation evidence connects the product to the tubulin complex, cytosolic ribosome, vacuole, plant-type cell wall, plastid, plasmodesma, and Golgi complex. Related genes in other species link the family to herbivory defence, tyrosine phosphorylation, and salt stress tolerance.
