SLP — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsSLP (CSA07G016590) on Camelina sativa chromosome 7 encodes a chaperonin protein belonging to the Cpn60/GroEL family, with ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone activity and additional annotations for protein kinase activity, mRNA binding, and ATP binding. The gene is associated with stomatal complex formation, symmetric cell division, guard mother cell differentiation, cytokinesis by cell plate formation, and regulation of cell cycle G1/S phase transition. It is linked to leaf temperature, cell growth and development, cotyledon morphology, trichome morphology, root morphology, high temperature stress response, thermotolerance, disease resistance, heat tolerance, salt stress response, and systemic acquired resistance. Localisation evidence connects the product to the chloroplast envelope, thylakoid, stromule, preprophase band, and stress granules. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to stomatal opening, organ size, cell cycle control, and nitric oxide production.
