CBF1 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsCBF1 (CSA12G027700) encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor with an AP2/ERF domain and DRE1A-I family signature, also annotated with histone acetylase activity. In Camelina sativa, this gene is associated with the upregulation of chlorophyll breakdown and wax anabolism, cellular responses to drought and salinity, glucose-mediated signalling, positive regulation of leaf senescence, root morphogenesis, and responses to auxin, cytokinin and light. It localises to the nucleus and is linked to traits including freezing tolerance, water stress response, photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, proline content, anthocyanin content, leaf trichome density, lateral root length, and inflorescence and floral organ development. Related genes in other species are linked to enhanced freezing, dehydration and salt stress tolerance, as well as drought and heat tolerance.
