RAD — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsMEE3 (RAD, CSA07857S010) encodes a RADIALIS-like protein with a SANT/Myb and homeodomain-like superfamily domain, and has DNA binding transcription factor activity. In Camelina sativa, it is associated with determination of dorsoventral asymmetry, geotropism, response to red light, flower development, embryo development ending in seed dormancy, and DNA-dependent transcription. The protein localizes to both the nucleus and mitochondria. It is associated with drought tolerance, photomorphogenesis, apical hook formation, hypocotyl length, salinity tolerance, gravitropism, and salt stress tolerance. Related genes in other species are linked to seedling development and seed germination.
