DAD1 — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CsDAD1 (CSA_2G026940) in cucumber encodes a linoleate 9S-lipoxygenase, a member of the PLAT/LH2 domain superfamily. The gene is associated with membrane breakdown, downregulation of defense response to insect, hatching, spore germination, lipid oxidation, fermentation, metabolic burst, jasmonic acid anabolism, systemic acquired resistance, lateral root formation, response to jasmonic acid, response to wounding, root development, defence response to bacteria, response to abscisic acid, and signal transduction. CsDAD1 is linked to respiration rate, photosynthetic rate, and phenotypes including pathogen resistance, seed aging tolerance, oxidative stress tolerance, fatty acid oxidation, seed germination, tuber development, susceptibility to Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium head blight resistance, germination, stress response, heat tolerance, drought tolerance, stress tolerance, fruit aroma, stomatal closure, aphid resistance, immune defense, cadmium stress response, stomatal immunity, osmotic stress response, salt tolerance, induced systemic resistance, defense response, pathogen response, powdery mildew resistance, and resistance to Cucumber mosaic virus. Its product localizes to the plastid and cytoplasm. Related genes in other species are linked to cold tolerance, disease resistance, leaf senescence, and other traits.
