ACO3 — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CSA_6G511860, symbol ACO3, encodes an aminocyclopropanecarboxylate oxidase (ACC oxidase) with EC 1.14.17.4, a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase. In cucumber (Cucumis sativus) on chromosome 6, this gene is associated with sex differentiation and determination, stamen and carpel development, floral organ formation, and sexual reproduction. It has been linked to female flowering, heterosis, net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, chlorophyll content, plant height, root length, and pollen fertility. Additional associations include hormone transport and anabolism, coumarin anabolism, shoot regeneration, dehiscence, and cellular response to fatty acid. Related genes in other species support the family's role in ethylene-mediated developmental processes.
