HSP70 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsHSC70-7 (CSA12G030090) in Camelina sativa encodes a member of the Hsp70 family of molecular chaperones, possessing ATP hydrolase activity, heat shock protein binding, and protein folding chaperone functions. It is associated with protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum, the ER unfolded protein response, ERAD pathway, and protein-chloroplast targeting. The gene is linked to responses to heat and salt stress, hypoxia, brassinosteroid-mediated signalling, MAPK cascade, sumoylation, pollen germination and development, embryo development ending in seed dormancy, and downregulation of ethylene-mediated signalling. Associations with traits include leaf position, stem elongation, stomatal resistance and opening, trichome morphology, leaf senescence, seed growth and development, flowering time, root morphology, abscisic acid sensitivity, and plant stress response. Related genes in other species are linked to protein import into chloroplasts, ethylene perception, seed germination, and embryo viability.
