CAM2 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsCAM2 (CSA07G060560) on Camelina sativa chromosome 7 encodes a calmodulin-5 protein with calcium ion binding activity. The gene is associated with diverse biological processes including cellular response to chitin and bacterial molecules, PTI signalling, regulation of defense response by callose deposition, cadmium transport, sodium ion homeostasis, lipid oxidation, and coumarin metabolism. It has been linked to traits such as reproductive growth time, days to flowering, bacterial blight disease resistance, jasmonic acid sensitivity and content, auxin content and sensitivity, blue light sensitivity, stomatal opening and closure, root development and morphology, leaf morphology, callus induction, meristem identity, and responses to high and low temperature stress, salt, and abiotic stress. The gene also shows associations with chromium tolerance, seed germination, osmotic stress tolerance, and heat tolerance.
