PDAT — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsPDAT (CSA08G005560) on Camelina sativa chromosome 8 encodes a phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase, a member of the LACT/PDAT acyltransferase family with an alpha/beta hydrolase fold. The gene is associated with triglyceride anabolism, lipid metabolism, and CRISPR-Cas system annotations. It has been linked to seed length, seed weight, seed oil content, and triacylglycerol synthesis, accumulation, and assembly. Associations also include thermotolerance, heat tolerance, cold tolerance, plant growth, biomass, embryo and pollen development, cell viability, and cell death. The encoded protein is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum, plastid, nucleus, and plant-type vacuole. Related genes in other species are linked to seed yield, triacylglycerol biosynthesis, hydroxy fatty acid content, and lifespan.
