EXLA1 — Cucumis sativus
Summary
CsEXLA1, encoded by the cucumber gene CSA_7G019840 on chromosome 7, belongs to the expansin family, containing Expan_Lol_pI and Expansin_CBD domains. The gene is associated with plant-type cell wall loosening, polar cell growth, morphogenesis, and sexual reproduction, and its product localizes to the plant-type cell wall, plasmodesmata, secretory vesicles, Golgi complex, and extracellular space. In cucumber, the related gene EXLA2 has been linked to abiotic stress tolerance. Additionally, EXLA2 is associated with resistance to necrotrophic fungi, cold tolerance, and salt tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to cell wall strength, hypocotyl elongation, and cell expansion.
