HCT — Cucumis sativus
Summary
CsHCT (CSA_7G431440) on cucumber chromosome 7 encodes a shikimate O-hydroxycinnamoyltransferase with quinate O-hydroxycinnamoyltransferase, anthranilate N-benzoyltransferase, and rosmarinate synthase activities. The gene is associated with phenylpropanoid, lignin, flavonoid, wax, and alkaloid metabolism, as well as pigment accumulation, fruit development, wound healing, defense response, auxin signaling, and hormone response. CsHCT has been connected to chlorophyll content and powdery mildew resistance, and is linked to membrane and cytoplasmic localization. Studies of related genes in other species associate the family with lignin biosynthesis, flavonoid and anthocyanin content, fruit color and shape, drought tolerance, shoot fresh weight, and plant growth traits.
