RAD — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA16G043450, also known as RAD, CsMEE3, or CsRSM1, encodes a RADIALIS-like protein with a SANT/Myb domain and homeodomain-like superfamily fold, possessing DNA binding and transcription factor activity as well as protein homodimerization activity. This gene is associated with flower development, embryo development ending in seed dormancy, determination of dorsoventral asymmetry, geotropism, and responses to sucrose, red light, gibberellin, and salicylate. It is linked to drought tolerance, photomorphogenesis, apical hook formation, hypocotyl length, salinity tolerance, gravitropism, and salt stress tolerance. The protein localizes to the nucleus, cytoplasm, and mitochondria. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to seedling development and seed germination.
