AGR — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CsAGR (CSA_1G427480) on cucumber chromosome 1 encodes a protein with auxin efflux carrier domains and exhibits both auxin influx and efflux transmembrane transporter activity, as well as inositol-1,4-bisphosphate 1-phosphatase activity and phosphatidylinositol phosphate binding. The gene is associated with tropism, gravity sensing, phototropism, and responses to oxidative stress, cation stress, and basic pH. It is linked to auxin transport pathways, phosphoinositide-mediated signaling, and regulation of endocytosis and cell wall organization. Traits connected to CsAGR include fruit length, leaf angle, shoot growth angle, seed set, root hair length, lateral root number, petiole length, and brassinosteroid content. Phenotypes associated with the gene include root growth, gravitropism, phototropism, vascular development, and fruit seedlessness. Related genes in other species are linked to root patterning, embryonic development, and osmotic stress tolerance.
