G2 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsG2 (CSA05G084930) on Camelina sativa chromosome 5 encodes a protein with acetoacetyl-CoA reductase, trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase (NADPH), ketoreductase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase, naringenin-chalcone synthase, and acyltransferase activities, and belongs to the FAE1-type polyketide synthase and 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthase families. The gene is associated with very-long-chain fatty acid and wax biosynthesis, cutin-based cuticle development, suberin biosynthesis, polyketide and flavonoid anabolism, sphingolipid metabolism, trichome papilla formation and branching, polar cell growth, osmotic and wounding responses, and regulation of cell division. It is linked to plant male sterility, drought and salt tolerance, high temperature stress response, root mass density and thickness, leaf composition, and embryo, tissue, and growth traits. The protein localises to the fatty acid elongase complex, ER membrane, cell wall, chloroplast thylakoid membrane, mitochondria, and cytosol.
