GA5 — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CsGA5 (CSA_5G172270) encodes a gibberellin 20-oxidase, a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase with gibberellin 3-beta-dioxygenase and flavanone 3-dioxygenase activities. In cucumber, this gene is associated with sex differentiation, abscission, syngamy, and responses to flooding, red or far-red light, and short-day flowering. It is linked to cytokinin, auxin, jasmonic acid, zeatin, and carotenoid anabolism, as well as chlorophyll metabolism and developmental processes. The protein localizes to the cytoplasm. Associations with traits include fruit length, root number and length, lateral root number, chlorophyll content, hydrogen peroxide content, transpiration rate, and ethylene sensitivity. Phenotypic associations encompass plant height, flowering time, seed germination, fruit set, parthenocarpy, biomass, stem internode number, fertility, and responses to salt stress, wind, and drought.
