VP1 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA17G039140 (VP1, CsLEC2) on Camelina sativa chromosome 17 encodes a B3 DNA-binding domain transcription factor with transcription cis-regulatory region binding, DNA binding, and zinc binding activities. This gene is associated with positive regulation of auxin biosynthetic process, seed oilbody biogenesis, embryo development ending in seed dormancy, response to abscisic acid, flower development, photoperiodism, and fatty acid anabolism. It is linked to seed weight, as well as triacylglycerol accumulation, somatic embryogenesis, trichome formation, and lateral root formation. The protein localizes to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to seed maturation, oil accumulation in leaves, and embryogenic callus formation.
