GL3 — Cucumis sativus
Summary
CsGL3 (CSA_6G003480) in cucumber encodes a BHLH domain-containing protein with transcription coactivator activity, sequence-specific DNA binding, and protein dimerization activity. It is associated with regulation of trichome spacing and morphogenesis, flavonoid and proanthocyanidin anabolism, stomatal complex formation, and plant epidermal cell fate specification. The gene has been linked to leaf trichome density, root epidermal cell length, seed coat morphology, male flowering, stem dry weight, oleic acid content, UV light sensitivity, cadmium concentration, and lignin biosynthesis traits. Related genes in other species connect the family to trichome development, root epidermal cell fate specification, anthocyanin production, seed oil accumulation, and UV-B stress response.
