SCP — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CsSCP (CSA_5G633830) on cucumber chromosome 5 encodes a LOB domain-containing protein with DNA-binding transcription repressor and activator activities, as well as protein homodimerization and protein binding functions. It is localized to the nucleus. The gene is associated with brassinosteroid anabolism, gibberellin biosynthesis, hormone-mediated signalling, regulation of asymmetric cell division, de-etiolation, skotomorphogenesis, microsporogenesis, and lateral and adventitious root formation. It has been linked to stem elongation, plant height, days to flowering, and photosynthetic rate. Associations also include reactive oxygen species homeostasis, pollen tube growth and integrity, flavonol accumulation, lipid transfer, and microspore asymmetric division. Related genes in other species link the family to flavonol biosynthesis, pollen development, and arsenic concentration.
