LOX — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CsLOX (CSA_4G286960) in cucumber (Cucumis sativus) encodes a lipoxygenase enzyme with linoleate 9S- and 13S-lipoxygenase activities, as well as phytoene dehydrogenase, peroxidase, and RNA cap-binding activities. It is associated with the lipoxygenase pathway, oxylipin and jasmonic acid anabolism, lipid oxidation, carotenoid and chlorophyll anabolism, and responses to herbivores, high light intensity, and ozone. 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, photoperiod-sensitive flowering time, and low temperature stress response. It is associated with wound response, jasmonic acid biosynthesis, abscisic acid biosynthesis, cadmium stress tolerance, heat stress tolerance, drought resistance, herbivore resistance, and susceptibility to root-knot nematode infection. The protein localizes to chloroplast thylakoids, stromules, stress granules, and P bodies.
