CRK3 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsCRK3 (CSA07G037400) on Camelina sativa chromosome 7 encodes a transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase with coreceptor activity, calcium ion binding, sugar binding, and protein homodimerization activity. It is associated with cell surface receptor signaling, immune response, detection of symbiotic fungi, regulation of defense response to fungi, defence response to bacteria, positive regulation of hypersensitive response, rejection of self pollen, brassinosteroid-mediated signaling, cold acclimation, somatic embryogenesis, regulation of developmental growth, cell differentiation, and response to thirst. The gene is linked to drought tolerance and callus induction. The protein localizes to the plasma membrane, external side of plasma membrane, mitochondria, and extracellular region. Related genes in other species link the family to root mass density and ABA-related phenotypes.
