APIC — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CSA_2G348150, also known as APIC, encodes a glutathione S-transferase (GST) with glutathione binding and transferase activity, as well as protein homodimerization activity, and belongs to the GST_Phi_C and thioredoxin-like superfamilies. The gene is associated with diverse biological processes including xenobiotic and toxin breakdown, proline metabolism, the ascorbate-glutathione cycle, fermentation, and responses to flooding and oxidative stress. It is linked to several agronomically important traits such as percent germination, plant height, stem diameter, floral organ number, nitrogen and flavonoid content, chlorophyll content, net photosynthetic rate, quantum yield, photochemical quenching, and stomatal resistance. The encoded protein localizes to the cytoplasm and cytosol.
