CPS — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CSA_6G410650 (CPS, also known as GA1) in cucumber (Cucumis sativus) on chromosome 6 encodes a protein with terpene synthase domains and is associated with ent-copalyl diphosphate synthase activity, copal-8-ol diphosphate synthase activity, isomerase activity, terpene synthase activity, and magnesium binding. This gene is associated with gibberellin biosynthesis and signaling, diterpenoid and terpenoid anabolism, and defense response. It is linked to sex determination and differentiation, flower and stamen development, and female flowering. Phenotypic associations include plant height, dwarfism, flowering time, parthenocarpic fruit set, trichome formation, apical hook formation, root colonization, and resistance to photooxidative stress. Related genes in other species are linked to seed germination, male fertility, stamen and petal length, stem elongation, and fruit development.
