OR — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CSA_5G168750, designated OR (also known as CsOr, CsOr, CmOr, or CmOR), encodes a protein with Orange-like domains and possesses PSase activity and protein binding functions. In cucumber, this gene is associated with chromoplast and chloroplast organization, carotenoid and carotene anabolism, upregulation of carotenoid anabolism, protein stabilization, de-etiolation, response to light stimulus, polar cell growth, and NO storage. It localizes to plastids, chloroplast membranes, the cytoplasm, and the nucleus. The gene is linked to fruit and endocarp color, alpha carotene, beta-carotene, and carotenoid content, plastid development, seed growth and development, chromoplast differentiation, seed germination, abscisic acid content and biosynthesis, provitamin A carotenoid content, salt stress response, chlorophyll accumulation, photosynthetic development, and carotenoid synthesis. Related genes in other species are linked to beta-carotene accumulation, fruit flesh color, fruit development, flowering time, thermotolerance, and leaf virescence.
