SLP — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsSLP (CSA05G039850) on Camelina sativa chromosome 5 encodes a chaperonin with ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone activity, also annotated with protein kinase and mRNA binding functions. The gene is associated with stomatal complex formation, guard mother cell division, symmetric cell division, cytokinesis by cell plate formation, and regulation of cell cycle G1/S phase transition. It has been connected to leaf temperature, cell growth and development, cotyledon morphology, trichome morphology, root morphology, and plant growth and development traits. Associations also include thermotolerance, disease resistance, heat tolerance, salt stress response, stomatal development, cell division, endoreduplication, male gametophyte viability, fertility, and embryo patterning. The protein localizes to chloroplast stroma, thylakoid, preprophase band, cortical microtubule, and stress granule. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to plastid development, stomatal opening, and cell cycle control.
