PDF1 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsPDF1 (CSA06G049000) on Camelina sativa chromosome 6 encodes a member of the Protodermal_1 family, characterised by a PDF1_C domain. The gene is associated with wax anabolism and localises to both the nucleus and extracellular space. It has been linked to photosynthetic rate and protodermal development, with L1 layer-specific expression observed. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to zinc tolerance, pathogen resistance, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, and disease resistance. Additional family-level associations include net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, leaf shape, seed dormancy, and disease tolerance.
