RAD — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA17G025340, also known as RAD, CsRL5, or CsRSM4, encodes a RADIALIS-like protein with a SANT/Myb domain and homeodomain-like superfamily fold, functioning as a DNA-binding transcription factor. It is localized to the nucleus and is associated with flower development, determination of dorsoventral asymmetry, and DNA-dependent transcription. The gene has been connected to drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species, including DIVARICATA, link the RADIALIS family to floral symmetry and transcriptional regulation.
