ACP — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsACP (CSA19G007270) encodes an acyl carrier protein with a chloroplastic ACP domain and phosphopantetheine binding site, conferring acyl carrier activity. In Camelina sativa, this gene is associated with fatty acid elongation and lipogenesis, and its product localises to the chloroplast. CsACP has been linked to oleic acid content, linolenic acid content, and overall fatty acid composition, as well as to levels of jasmonic acid and salicylic acid. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to leaf weight, seed maturation, drought tolerance, and pattern-triggered immunity, though these associations are not yet established in Camelina.
