ASP1 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsASP1 (CSA14G011160) on Camelina sativa chromosome 14 encodes a SUMO-specific endopeptidase belonging to the peptidase C48 family, with a ULP2A/B_PH domain. The gene is associated with desumoylation and sumoylation processes, proteolysis, and nuclear localization. It is linked to the upregulation of both short-day and long-day photoperiodism in flowering. Associations include seed weight, seed size, seed yield, plant height, flowering time, vegetative growth, fertility, floral morphology, embryo development, and both male and female gametophyte development. The gene is also connected to blue light-mediated photomorphogenesis, far-red light sensitivity, nitrogen metabolism, abscisic acid signaling, and disease resistance. Related genes in other species are linked to mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase activity, abnormal floral structures, late flowering with decreased freezing tolerance, and additional environmental response traits.
