HAG1 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsHAG1 (CSA18G034740) on Camelina sativa chromosome 18 encodes a protein with a Myb_TF_plants domain, a Myb domain, a SANT/Myb domain, and a Homeodomain-like superfamily domain. It has DNA binding, chromatin binding, transcription factor activity, and other molecular functions. This gene is associated with the regulation of glucosinolate biosynthetic processes, the shikimate pathway, and secondary cell wall biogenesis. It is linked to responses to sulfur starvation, desiccation, hyperosmotic salinity, and insect defense, as well as stomatal complex development and green leaf volatile biosynthesis. CsHAG1 is also connected to traits including seed protein content, lignin biosynthesis, aphid response, flowering time, root architecture, and disease tolerance. Related genes in other species link the family to glucosinolate accumulation, insect herbivory resistance, and drought tolerance.
