PR5 — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CsPR5 (CSA_4G427265) from cucumber chromosome 4 encodes a thaumatin-like protein belonging to the osmotin/thaumatin-like superfamily, with annotated beta-glucanase and glycosidase activities. The gene is associated with antifungal innate immune response, systemic acquired resistance, defence responses to bacteria and fungi, response to viruses, and regulation of anthocyanin anabolism. It is linked to sex determination, stomatal closure, seed germination, ABA signaling, and responses to jasmonic acid, ethylene, cadmium, and UV-B. Associations include disease resistance, salt and drought tolerance, osmotic stress response, proline accumulation, and resistance to Verticillium dahliae and Pseudomonas syringae. The protein localises to the apoplast, plant-type cell wall, vacuole, plasmodesma, and secretory vesicles.
