Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: CsINV5
  • Gene Name: Vacuolar invertase 5
  • Genome:
  • Species: Camellia sinensis

Functional Descriptions:

  • CsINV5, a tea vacuolar invertase gene enhances cold tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis.
  • Identified a VIN gene, CsINV5, which was induced by cold acclimation and sugar treatments in the tea plant. Histochemical assays results showed that the 1154 bp 5′-flanking sequence of CsINV5 drove β-glucuronidase (GUS) gene expression in roots, stems, leaves, flowers and siliques of transgenic Arabidopsis during different developmental stages.
  • Comprehensive experimental results suggest that overexpression of CsINV5 may enhance the cold tolerance of plant through the modification of cellular sugar compounds contents and osmotic regulation related pathways.
  • These results indicate that CsINV5-OE was associated with higher INV activity and increased the Hex/Suc ratio by hydrolyzing much more Suc into Glc and Fru. Based on these data, CsINV5 overexpression in Arabidopsis enhanced cold tolerance.
