PDF1 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsPDF1 (CSA06G048990) on Camelina sativa chromosome 6 encodes a protodermal-1 family protein, a member of the PDF1_C domain-containing group. The gene is associated with wax anabolism and has been linked to protodermal development and L1 layer-specific expression. Its product is localized to the extracellular region and the nucleus. CsPDF1 is also associated with photosynthetic rate. Studies of the Arabidopsis PDF1 relative link the family to zinc tolerance, pathogen resistance, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, and disease resistance. Additional associations from related genes in other species include net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, leaf shape, seed dormancy, and responses to zinc and biotic/abiotic stresses.
