RS2 — Cucumis sativus
Summary
CSA_4G167980 (RS2, also known as AGA2) in cucumber (Cucumis sativus) chromosome 4 encodes a protein with galactinol-raffinose galactosyltransferase and raffinose alpha-galactosidase activities (EC 2.4.1.82), placing it in the glycosyl hydrolase 36 family. It also shows DNA binding and transcription factor activity. The gene is associated with raffinose breakdown, stachyose biosynthesis, phloem loading and unloading, leaf formation, adaxial-abaxial polarity specification, and response to nematode infection. It has been linked to traits including raffinose content, fruit size and development, flowering time, leaf and flower morphology, and cold stress recovery. Localisation evidence connects the product to the nucleus, cytoplasm, nucleolus, plasmodesma, and condensed chromosome. Related genes in other species are linked to leaf polarity, meristem development, and organ patterning.
