ECR — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsECR (CSA09G067340) on Camelina sativa chromosome 9 encodes a protein with acetoacetyl-CoA reductase, trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase (NADPH), ketoreductase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase, and protein tyrosine phosphatase activities, belonging to the SRD5A/TECR and 3-oxo-5α-steroid-4-DH_C domain families. It is associated with very-long-chain fatty acid metabolism and anabolism, wax anabolism, suberin biosynthesis, cutin-based cuticle development, sphingolipid metabolism, trichome branching and papilla formation, cell polarization, polar cell growth, embryonic pattern specification, seed development, lateral root development, and response to cytokinin. The gene is linked to traits including drought tolerance, salt tolerance, high temperature stress response, photosynthetic rate, root morphology and thickness, leaf composition, plant male sterility, and cell cycle and elongation traits. It localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, fatty acid elongase complex, cell wall, chloroplast thylakoid membrane, mitochondria, cytosol, and nucleus.
