RAD — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA07G051790 (RAD, also known as CsMEE3) on Camelina sativa chromosome 7 encodes a RADIALIS-like protein with a SANT/Myb and homeodomain-like superfamily domain, and is annotated as a DNA-binding transcription factor with protein homodimerization activity. The gene is associated with flower development, embryo development ending in seed dormancy, determination of dorsoventral asymmetry, geotropism, and responses to sucrose, red light, gibberellin, and salicylate. It is linked to drought tolerance, photomorphogenesis, apical hook formation, hypocotyl length, salinity tolerance, gravitropism, and salt stress tolerance. The protein localizes to the nucleus, cytoplasm, and mitochondria. Related genes in other species are linked to seedling development and seed germination.
