DAD1 — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CsDAD1 (CSA_2G028490) on cucumber chromosome 2 encodes a lipoxygenase with linoleate 9S- and 13S-lipoxygenase activity, acting as an oxidoreductase that incorporates molecular oxygen. The protein localises to plastids and the cytoplasm. CsDAD1 is associated with jasmonic acid and oxylipin anabolism, membrane breakdown, lipid oxidation, and responses to wounding, abscisic acid, and jasmonic acid. It is linked to defence response to bacteria, downregulation of defense response to insect, systemic acquired resistance, and lateral root formation and root development. The gene is associated with pathogen resistance, including powdery mildew and Cucumber mosaic virus resistance, as well as tolerance to drought, heat, salt, oxidative stress, and cadmium stress. Associations also include seed germination and aging tolerance, fruit aroma, stomatal closure, and photosynthetic and respiration rates.
