CAM2 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsCAM2 (CSA09G069190) in Camelina sativa encodes a calmodulin-5 protein, a calcium-binding EF-hand family member. The gene is associated with calcium ion binding and a wide range of molecular functions including ABC-type indole transporter, cadmium ion transmembrane transporter, auxin efflux transporter, and kinase activities. It has been linked to biological processes such as lipid oxidation, cellular detoxification, indole glucosinolate breakdown, regulation of defense response by callose deposition, PTI signalling, and responses to chitin, oomycetes, and bacteria. Associations with agronomically relevant traits include bacterial blight disease resistance, abiotic stress tolerance, heat and cold tolerance, seed germination, root development, stomatal aperture regulation, and auxin and jasmonic acid content and sensitivity. The gene product localizes to multiple cellular compartments including the endoplasmic reticulum, chloroplast envelope, plasmodesmata, and plant-type vacuole.
