DHN3 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsDHN3 (CSA16G040300) on Camelina sativa chromosome 16 encodes a dehydrin family protein with calcium ion and mRNA binding activities. The gene is associated with responses to desiccation, cold, abscisic acid, and thirst, as well as cold acclimation. Its product localises to the membrane, mitochondria, cytosol, plasmalemma, and nucleus. CsDHN3 is associated with seed maturation, cold and dehydration stress responses, osmotic stress tolerance, and stress tolerance generally. Related genes in other species link the dehydrin family to dehydration stress response, salinity tolerance, and broader stress responses.
