LOX — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CsLOX (CSA_4G286940) in cucumber (Cucumis sativus) on chromosome 4 encodes a PLAT domain-containing lipoxygenase with linoleate 9S- and 13S-lipoxygenase activities, phytoene dehydrogenase activity, peroxidase activity, and RNA cap binding. It is associated with the lipoxygenase pathway, lipid oxidation, oxylipin and jasmonic acid anabolism, carotenoid and chlorophyll anabolism, isoprenoid anabolism, regulation of secondary metabolism, response to herbivore and high light intensity, adventitious root development, and triglyceride mobilization. The gene is linked to traits including linoleic acid and carotenoid content, photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, seed yield, plant height, stem diameter, leaf number, root thickness, stomatal resistance and opening, photoperiod-sensitive flowering, and low temperature stress response. It localizes to chloroplast thylakoid, envelope, and stroma, apoplast, P body, stress granule, and nucleolus.
