RLK — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsRLK (CSA18G040170) on Camelina sativa chromosome 18 encodes a transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase with protein kinase activity and ATP binding, belonging to the PRK1-6/SRF4-like family with leucine-rich repeats. The gene is associated with regulation of floral meristem size, specification of floral organ number, floral organ development, and post-embryonic plant organ development. It is also linked to gametophyte development, embryo sac development, plant ovule development, and stomatal complex morphogenesis. CsRLK is associated with cold acclimation, heat acclimation, activation of salinity response, upregulation of response to thirst, hormone-mediated signaling, and response to other organisms. The protein localizes to the membrane, plasmalemma, and extracellular region. Related genes in other species link the family to low nitrogen stress tolerance, plant height, root length, stem elongation, stomatal resistance, and drought tolerance.
