PDF1 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsPDF1 (CSA17G018660) on Camelina sativa chromosome 17 encodes a protein with protein phosphatase regulator activity and belongs to the PP2A regulatory subunit A family, characterized by HEAT and ARM-type repeats. The gene is associated with regulation of phosphorylation, stomatal movement, wax and unsaturated fatty acid anabolism, response to thermal stimulus, and negative regulation of leaf senescence. It is linked to seed yield, biomass yield, water use efficiency, carotenoid content, total soluble sugar content, brassinosteroid content and sensitivity, fruit quality, and high temperature stress response. The encoded protein localizes to the PP2A complex, nucleus, cytosol, plasmalemma, and plant-type cell wall. Related genes in other species are associated with cortical microtubule organization, stomatal development, floral transition, and carotenoid accumulation.
