AGG3 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsAGG3 (CSA08G014440) on Camelina sativa chromosome 8 encodes a G-protein gamma-like domain protein with GTPase activity and GTP binding. This gene is associated with regulation of seed development, root morphogenesis, floral organ structural organization, and responses to abscisic acid, sugars, and bacteria. It is linked to traits including seed size, seed yield, oil yield, silique size, flowering time, nitrogen use efficiency, photosynthetic efficiency, and stress tolerance to salt, cold, heavy metals, and oxidative stress. The encoded protein localizes to the plasma membrane, cell periphery, and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to organ size, organ shape, stress response, and defense against fungal pathogens such as Pyricularia oryzae and Fusarium oxysporum.
