GL2 — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CsGL2 (CSA_3G484840) on cucumber chromosome 3 encodes an uncharacterized protein with a homeodomain (HD-Zip IV) and START domain, and has DNA-binding transcription factor activity, sequence-specific DNA binding, transcription cis-regulatory region binding, DNA binding, protein binding, and lipid binding molecular functions. It is localized to the nucleus and is associated with downregulation of trichoblast fate, plant epidermal cell fate specification, trichome differentiation, organogenesis, trichome branching, cell differentiation, flower development, DNA-dependent transcription, and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. The gene is linked to male flowering, plant trait, root epidermal cell length, leaf elongation rate, seed coat morphology trait, trichome morphology trait, lateral root length, stem elongation, pollen vigor, seed viability, male flowering time, seed coat mucilage synthesis, stomatal development, seed coat development, trichome spacing, root hair density, epidermal cell-type differentiation, nonhair cell development, seed oil content, trichome cell differentiation, anthocyanin biosynthesis, seed coat mucilage, trichome cell fate, fatty acid biosynthesis, trichome formation, non-hair cell specification, root hair development, arsenic accumulation, leaf trichome cell fate, trichome development, root hair formation, root epidermal patterning, trichome morphogenesis, non-hair cell differentiation, root hair growth, osmotic stress response, root epidermal cell patterning, and epidermal cell patterning.
