LEC1 — Camelina sativa
Summary
CsLEC1 (CSA14G027200) encodes a transcription factor of the NF-YB/HAP3 family, possessing DNA-binding transcription activator activity specific to RNA polymerase II, chromatin binding, and protein heterodimerization activity. In Camelina sativa, this gene is associated with positive regulation of fatty acid anabolism, lipid metabolism, embryo development ending in seed dormancy, flower development, photomorphogenesis, blue light signaling, and regulation of long-day flowering, seed germination, and ABA and GA signaling. It is linked to seed length, starch and protein content, leaf chlorosis, photoperiod-sensitive flowering time, disease tolerance, salt tolerance, root morphology, and abscisic acid sensitivity. The encoded protein localizes to the nucleus, plastid, cytosol, and CCAAT-binding factor complex. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to embryogenesis, seed oil content, fatty acid composition, seed weight, seed dormancy, somatic embryogenesis, pathogen resistance, and flowering time.
