ABS7 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsABS7 (CSA07G010180) on Camelina sativa chromosome 7 encodes a protein with a Myb domain and SANT/Myb domain, and has sequence-specific DNA binding and transcription regulatory activity. The gene is associated with multiple biological processes including pigment accumulation, phlobaphene biosynthesis, miRNA transcription, phytoalexin upregulation, shikimate metabolism, floral organ senescence, regulation of cell wall organization, leaf morphogenesis, pollen tube growth, and programmed cell death. It localizes to the nucleus, pollen tube, and plant-type cell wall. Associations with seed germination, ABA response and sensitivity, root growth, pollen tube reception, leaf morphology, and nitrogen deficiency response have been observed. Related genes in other species are linked to gibberellin signaling, drought tolerance, abscisic acid sensitivity, and meristem identity.
