AGG3 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsAGG3 (CSA20G032610) on Camelina sativa chromosome 20 encodes a G-protein gamma-like domain protein with GTPase activity and GTP binding. This gene is associated with regulation of seed development, seed size, seed number, seed mass, seed yield, and oil yield, as well as floral organ structural organization, flower size, silique size, and petal growth. It has been linked to responses to abscisic acid, fructose, glucose, sucrose, and mannitol, along with defence responses to bacteria and fungi, disease tolerance, and stress tolerance including cold, oxidative, heavy metal, and salt responses. Additional associations include root morphogenesis, root thickness, cytokinin sensitivity, stomatal aperture, photosynthetic efficiency, nitrogen use efficiency, and seedling biomass. Related genes in other species are linked to organ size, organ shape, morphological development, and defence responses including penetration resistance to Pyricularia oryzae.
