RAD — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA09G086050, also known as RAD, CsMEE3, or CsRSM1, encodes a RADIALIS-like protein with a SANT/Myb and homeodomain-like superfamily domain, associated with DNA binding and DNA binding transcription factor activity. In Camelina sativa, this gene is associated with flower development, embryo development ending in seed dormancy, determination of dorsoventral asymmetry, geotropism, and response to red light. It is linked to drought tolerance, photomorphogenesis, apical hook formation, hypocotyl length, salinity tolerance, gravitropism, and salt stress tolerance. The gene product localizes to both the nucleus and mitochondria. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to seedling development, seed germination, and seedling growth traits.
