PDAT — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsPDAT (CSA20G019000) on Camelina sativa chromosome 20 encodes a phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase, a member of the LACT/PDAT acyltransferase family with an alpha/beta hydrolase fold. The gene is associated with triglyceride anabolism, lipid metabolism, and CRISPR-Cas system annotations. It has been linked to seed length, seed weight, seed oil content, triacylglycerol synthesis and accumulation, fatty acid synthesis and turnover, thermotolerance, heat and cold tolerance, plant growth, biomass, cell viability, and development of seeds, embryos, pollen, and gametophytes. The encoded protein localises to the endoplasmic reticulum, plastid, plant-type vacuole, and nucleus. Related genes in other species connect the family to seed yield, triacylglycerol biosynthesis, hydroxy fatty acid content, temperature tolerance, and lifespan.
