MLO — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CSA_3G002740, designated MLO (also known as CsMLO4), encodes a calmodulin-binding protein localized to the membrane in cucumber (Cucumis sativus, chromosome 3). The gene is associated with cell wall thickening, calcium signaling, immune and defense responses, ABA signaling, signal transduction, and protein synthesis. Studies of related MLO family members in other species link the family to powdery mildew susceptibility.
