NAP2 — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CSA_4G011770, designated NAP2 in cucumber (Cucumis sativus, chromosome 4), encodes a NAC domain-containing protein that localises to the nucleus and binds sequence-specific DNA. This gene is associated with sex determination, anther development, flower morphogenesis, and reproductive structure development, as well as leaf senescence, response to absence of light, and activation of salinity response. It is linked to abscisic acid homeostasis, hormone anabolism, and primary and secondary metabolism, including phenylpropanoid and lignin anabolism. Associations with system development, post-embryonic development, and morphogenesis have also been observed.
