RAD — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA15G076870, designated RAD (also known as CsRL4, RL4, ATRL4, and CsATRL4) on Camelina sativa chromosome 15, encodes a RADIALIS-like protein containing a SANT/Myb domain and homeodomain-like superfamily fold. The product possesses DNA binding and transcription factor activity and can homodimerize. It is associated with flower development, determination of dorsoventral asymmetry, and responses to sucrose, gibberellin, and salicylate. The protein localizes to the nucleus, cytosol, and cytoplasm. This gene has been connected to drought tolerance. Related genes in other species link the RADIALIS family to transcriptional regulation.
