AGD7 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsAGD7 (CSA05G016290) on Camelina sativa chromosome 5 encodes an ARF-GAP domain protein with phospholipase activator activity, GAP activity, and GTP, mRNA, zinc, and protein binding. It is associated with vesicle transport and localizes to stress granules, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, and nucleus. The gene has been connected to seed weight, plant height, leaf composition, and leaf senescence traits, as well as phenotypes including protein trafficking, Golgi protein localization, and, through its association with ARF1, floral organ abscission, leaf senescence, intracellular protein trafficking, epidermal cell polarity, vesicular transport, endoplasmic reticulum morphology, somatic embryogenesis, root hair development, and leaf development. Related genes in other species link the family to similar trafficking and developmental processes.
