PMG2 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsPMG2 (CSA08G056690) on Camelina sativa chromosome 8 encodes a MYB transcription factor with a Myb DNA-binding domain, capable of sequence-specific DNA binding, transcription factor activity, and binding to bHLH transcription factors, kinases, calcium ions, and proteins. It is localized to the nucleus. The gene is associated with regulation of glucosinolate biosynthesis, cellular response to sulfur starvation, drought recovery, defense response to insects, induced systemic resistance, secondary cell wall biogenesis, and flavonoid metabolism. It has also been linked to traits including seed protein content, lignin biosynthesis, aphid and insect damage response, flowering time, root architecture, salt tolerance, and shoot elongation under submergence. Related genes in other species are associated with glucosinolate accumulation, drought and ammonium stress tolerance, and insect herbivore resistance.
