LEN1 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsLEN1 (CSA14G067340) in Camelina sativa encodes a chaperonin of the Cpn60/GroEL family with rubisco activator activity and ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone function. It is associated with chloroplast organization, thylakoid localization, and protein folding, stabilization, and refolding processes. The gene is linked to systemic acquired resistance, response to jasmonic acid, heat acclimation, cold response, and brassinosteroid-mediated signaling. Associations include photosynthetic rate, seed yield and weight, leaf temperature, selenium and sulfur content, nitrate uptake, and disease tolerance. Phenotypic connections encompass heat tolerance, thermotolerance of photosynthesis, photosynthetic efficiency and CO2 fixation, biomass, oil content, circadian rhythm, embryo and plastid development, cotyledon morphology, leaf senescence, and cell death with lesion formation.
