FAB1 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsFAB1 (CSA07G046400) on Camelina sativa chromosome 7 encodes a beta-ketoacyl-ACP synthase II with ketoacyl-ACP synthase activity. The gene is associated with fatty acid anabolism, lipogenesis, unsaturated fatty acid anabolism, lipid metabolism, and embryo development ending in seed dormancy. Its product localizes to the chloroplast stroma, plastid, mitochondria, and cytosol. CsFAB1 is associated with oleic acid content, fatty acid composition, and levels of palmitic and 18-carbon fatty acids. It is also linked to cold acclimation, chilling tolerance, low temperature tolerance, cold sensitivity, photosynthesis, photosystem II quantum efficiency, root hair morphology, and membrane trafficking. Related genes in other species are linked to embryo development, seed oil composition, and impaired growth at low temperature.
