RAD — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA11G005220, also known as RAD, RL3, or CsRL3 in Camelina sativa, encodes a RADIALIS-like protein containing a SANT/Myb domain and homeodomain-like superfamily domain, functioning as a DNA-binding transcription factor localized to the nucleus. This gene is associated with determination of dorsoventral asymmetry, flower development, and DNA-dependent transcription regulation. It has also been linked to drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the RADIALIS family to similar developmental processes, though these associations are not yet established for this specific gene.
