FIB — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CSA_6G512870 (FIB, also known as CHRC) encodes a protein with a PAP/fibrillin domain and has been annotated with phosphoriboisomerase, starch synthase, transglycosidase, and protein-binding activities. The gene is associated with the pentose-phosphate shunt, photosynthetic electron transport, photoprotection, chlorophyll and carotenoid metabolism, starch metabolism, and flower formation. Its product localizes to the chloroplast thylakoid membrane, thylakoid lumen, stromule, and plastoglobules. In cucumber, FIB is linked to starch grain shape and content, carotenoid content, anthocyanin content, photosynthetic rate, photochemical quenching, chloroplast development, shoot growth angle, root morphology, jasmonic acid content, and disease tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species connect this gene family to leaf senescence, high-light stress tolerance, plastoglobule formation, and starch granule initiation.
