EXP10 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsEXP10 (CSA17G034120) encodes a protein with an Expansin_CBD domain and a structural constituent of cell wall molecular function. This Camelina sativa gene is associated with plant-type cell wall loosening, organization, and biogenesis, as well as detoxification, secondary metabolism, morphogenesis, NO storage, response to salt, and polar cell growth. The protein localizes to the plant-type cell wall, extracellular region, and membrane. CsEXP10 is linked to root length, cell wall biomechanics and composition, and organ growth. Related genes in other species are linked to syncytium formation, cell wall extensibility, pedicel abscission, leaf growth, nematode resistance, petiole length, lignin content, leaf size, and salt tolerance.
