AP2 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsAP2 (CSA12G004190) on Camelina sativa chromosome 12 encodes a protein with an AP2/ERF domain and DNA-binding domain, and is annotated with DNA binding transcription factor activity and transcription corepressor activity. It is associated with regulation of seed development, endosperm development, starch biosynthetic process, fatty acid elongation, and wax anabolism. The gene is linked to regulation of floral organ abscission, seed abscission, specification of floral organ identity, meristem maintenance, and transition from vegetative to reproductive phase. CsAP2 has been connected to traits including seed mass, seed yield, jasmonic acid content, root morphology, and plant growth and development. It localizes to the nucleus, cytoplasm, and transcription regulator complex. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to flower development, ovule number, and Fusarium wilt resistance.
