ABS7 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsABS7 (CSA05G024410) on Camelina sativa chromosome 5 encodes a protein with a Myb domain and sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity. The gene is associated with pigment accumulation and phlobaphene biosynthetic processes, miRNA transcription, regulation of leaf morphogenesis, anther development, pollen tube growth and sperm cell differentiation, stomatal movement, and upregulation of phytoalexin biosynthesis, defense responses to insects, programmed cell death, and abscisic acid-mediated signaling. It has been linked to seed germination, ABA response and sensitivity, root growth, pollen tube reception, leaf morphology, and nitrogen deficiency response. The protein localizes to the nucleus and pollen tube. Related genes in other species are linked to gibberellin signaling, drought tolerance, and sensitivity to abscisic acid, gibberellic acid, and nitrogen.
