CYTC — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsCYTC-1 (CSA17G029780) on Camelina sativa chromosome 17 encodes a protein with a Cyt_c-like domain, annotated for electron transfer activity, copper binding, heme binding, metal binding, and protein binding. It is associated with electron transfer and gibberellic acid homeostasis, and localizes to mitochondria, the mitochondrial envelope lumen, plant-type vacuole, cytosol, and nucleus. The gene is linked to growth, anther-specific gene expression, and meristem-specific gene expression. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to drought tolerance, stress resistance, delayed growth and delayed flowering, linolenic acid content, amino acid content, cytoplasmic male sterility, and heterosis.
