EFR — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsEFR (CSA08G014290) on Camelina sativa chromosome 8 encodes a receptor-like serine/threonine kinase with leucine-rich repeat domains and NAD(P)H oxidase H2O2-forming activity. It is associated with immune response-regulating signaling, detection of bacteria, pattern-triggered immunity, and reactive oxygen species production. The gene is linked to defense responses against bacteria and oomycetes, as well as stomatal complex morphogenesis, carbohydrate homeostasis, heat acclimation, and cellular response to hypoxia. Associations include traits such as disease tolerance, drought tolerance, hydrogen peroxide content, stomatal opening and closure, root and shoot development, flowering time, seed growth, leaf senescence, and responses to aluminum, UV-B light, aphids, nematodes, and allelopathic effects. The protein localizes to the plasma membrane, ER membrane, endosome, plastid, and Golgi complex. Studies of related genes in other species link it to bacterial immunity, PAMP perception, and resistance to bacterial blight, fire blight, and bacterial wilt.
