FDC2 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsFDC2 (CSA14G042560) in Camelina sativa encodes a ferredoxin protein containing a 2Fe-2S ferredoxin-type domain, with molecular functions including 2Fe-2S cluster binding and electron transfer activity. The gene is associated with the electron transport chain, the TCA cycle, photorespiration, autotrophy, and response to light stimulus, and its product localizes to the chloroplast and etioplast stroma. CsFDC2 has been linked to thylakoid membrane development. Related genes in other species connect the ferredoxin family to chlorophyll biosynthesis, and sequence similarity links the family to traits including sulfur content, root mass density, and lateral root length.
