CRK3 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsCRK3 (CSA16G032120) on Camelina sativa chromosome 16 encodes a transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase with coreceptor activity, calcium ion binding, sugar binding, and protein homodimerization activity. The gene is associated with cell surface receptor signaling, immune response, defense against bacteria and fungi, detection of symbiotic fungi, rejection of self pollen, positive regulation of the hypersensitive response, brassinosteroid-mediated signaling, cold acclimation, somatic embryogenesis, regulation of developmental growth, cell differentiation, and response to thirst. It localizes to the plasma membrane, external side of the plasma membrane, and mitochondria. The gene is also linked to callus induction and drought tolerance. Related genes in other species are linked to root mass density and ABA-related phenotypes.
