SOB3 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsSOB3 (CSA16G040640) on Camelina sativa chromosome 16 encodes a protein with DNA-binding transcription factor activity, histone binding, and red/far-red light photoreceptor activity, placing it in the AHL15-29 family with a PPC domain. The gene is associated with light signaling pathways, including red light and far-red light responses, circadian regulation, and photoacclimation. It has been linked to traits such as biomass yield, leaf angle, photosynthetic ability, water use efficiency, and yield, as well as glyphosate sensitivity and UV-B light sensitivity. Localized to the nucleus, cytosol, and plasmalemma, CsSOB3 is associated with processes including stomatal development, abscisic acid metabolism, and regulation of defense response. Related genes in other species are linked to flowering time, seed size, and photomorphogenesis.
