PIP2 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA09G061790 (CsPIP2) encodes a member of the aquaporin family, possessing water channel activity and phospholipase D activity, and is annotated with channel activity, kinase activity, and ubiquitin ligase binding. The gene is associated with phosphatidic acid metabolism, hydrogen peroxide membrane transport, and responses to desiccation, brassinosteroid, and aluminum. It is linked to regulation of stomatal closure, circadian regulation of gene expression, and antiviral response. Localization evidence places the product at the plasma membrane, plasmodesmata, plant-type vacuole, and ER. Agronomically, CsPIP2 is connected to photosynthetic rate, root hair length, flowering time, salt and drought tolerance, disease resistance, and cell elongation. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to dehydration stress tolerance, water transport, and stomatal movement.
