CRK3 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsCRK3 (CSA09G071790) on Camelina sativa chromosome 9 encodes a transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase with coreceptor activity, calcium ion binding, sugar binding, and protein homodimerization activity. The gene is associated with cell surface receptor signaling, immune response, detection of symbiotic fungi, positive regulation of the hypersensitive response, defence responses to bacteria and fungi, brassinosteroid-mediated signaling, cold acclimation, somatic embryogenesis, regulation of developmental growth, rejection of self pollen, and response to thirst. It localizes to the external side of the plasma membrane, membrane, mitochondria, and extracellular region. CsCRK3 is linked to callus induction and drought tolerance. Related genes in other species are linked to root mass density and ABA-related phenotypes.
