BIN1 — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CSA_6G486870 (BIN1, also known as CsBRI1, CsDWF2, or CsCBB2) on cucumber chromosome 6 encodes a non-specific serine/threonine protein kinase with a leucine-rich repeat domain. The gene is associated with transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase activity, protein kinase binding, and signaling receptor binding. It is linked to activation of brassinosteroid-mediated signaling, negative regulation of brassinosteroid biosynthetic process, regulation of seedling development, root system development, sex determination, and phloem development. Associations with agronomic traits include fruit length, shoot system elongation rate, plant male sterility, leaf shattering, and responses to water stress, temperature stress, aluminum, and aphids. The gene product localizes to the plasma membrane, tonoplast, and endosomal compartments. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to yield, fruit ripening, drought resistance, and heat tolerance.
