CCM1 — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CSA_4G340540, designated CCM1 on cucumber chromosome 4, encodes an EF-hand domain-containing protein belonging to the CALM/Myosin/TropC-like family and annotated as an enzyme modulator with calcium ion binding activity. The gene is associated with a wide range of biological processes, including upregulation of photosynthesis, chlorophyll metabolism and breakdown, threonine and arginine metabolism, nucleotide-sugar metabolism, primary and secondary metabolism, organogenesis, adventitious root development, regeneration, auxin polar transport, cell wall thickening, spore germination, and translation elongation. It is linked to the cytoplasm and myosin II complex. Associations with flower diameter, pollen fertility, stomatal resistance, and chlorophyll content have also been noted. Related genes in other species further connect this gene family to calcium signaling.
