MLO — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CsMLO (CSA_4G664330) on cucumber chromosome 4 encodes a peptidylprolyl isomerase with FKBP18-like domains and cis-trans proline isomerase activity (EC 5.2.1.8). This gene is associated with cell wall thickening, protein synthesis, calcium signaling, immune response, ABA signaling, signal transduction, and defense response. Its product localizes to the chloroplast thylakoid lumen, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the gene family to seed dormancy and photochemical quenching.
