G2 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsG2 (CSA07G034210) on Camelina sativa chromosome 7 encodes a protein with domains characteristic of FAE1-type polyketide synthases and 3-ketoacyl-CoA synthases, and is annotated with multiple enzyme activities including acetoacetyl-CoA reductase, trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase, ketoreductase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase, naringenin-chalcone synthase, and acyltransferase activities. The gene is associated with very-long-chain fatty acid metabolism and biosynthesis, wax and suberin biosynthesis, cutin-based cuticle development, polyketide and flavonoid anabolism, sphingolipid metabolism, trichome papilla formation and branching, and responses to wounding and osmotic stress. It is linked to drought and salt tolerance, high temperature stress response, plant male sterility, root morphology and thickness traits, leaf composition, and cell cycle and elongation traits. The protein localises to the fatty acid elongase complex, endoplasmic reticulum membrane, cell wall, chloroplast thylakoid membrane, mitochondria, and cytosol.
