RAD — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA10G004700 (RAD, also known as CsRL3) encodes a RADIALIS-like protein containing a SANT/Myb domain and a homeodomain-like superfamily domain. The protein localises to both the nucleus and cytoplasm and exhibits DNA binding, DNA-binding transcription factor activity, and protein homodimerization activity. This gene is associated with flower development, determination of dorsoventral asymmetry, and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. It is linked to responses to sucrose, gibberellin, and salicylate, as well as to drought tolerance. Related genes in other species connect the family to similar developmental and stress-responsive processes.
