EFR — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsEFR (CSA13G023390) on Camelina sativa chromosome 13 encodes a transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase with leucine-rich repeat domains and NAD(P)H oxidase H2O2-forming activity. It is associated with immune response-regulating signaling, detection of bacteria, PTI signaling, ROS metabolic process, and activation of defence response to bacteria and defense response to oomycetes. The gene is linked to stomatal complex morphogenesis, regulation of cell growth, carbohydrate homeostasis, osmolarity sensing, detection of brassinosteroid stimulus, and plant ovule development. Associations with traits include disease tolerance, drought tolerance, hydrogen peroxide content, stomatal opening, stomatal complex closure time, root development trait, shoot system elongation rate, flowering time trait, seed growth and development trait, leaf senescence trait, and responses to aphids, nematodes, aluminum, UV-B light, and allelopathic effect. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to bacterial disease resistance, PAMP-triggered immunity, and waterlogging tolerance.
