GA2OX8 — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CsGA2OX8 (GA2OX5) on cucumber chromosome 1 encodes a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase (EC 1.14.11.13) with gibberellin 2-oxidase activity, gibberellin 20-oxidase activity, ACC oxidase activity, dioxygenase activity, and 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase activity. The gene is associated with gibberellin catabolism, gibberellic acid homeostasis, regulation of growth, ethylene anabolism, flavonoid anabolism, fruit ripening, nitrate import, and response to light stimulus. It has been linked to thigmomorphogenesis and hypocotyl elongation. The encoded protein localises to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to flowering time, plant height, biomass accumulation, and lignification.
