Gene Details:
- Gene ID: Csa3M850670
- Gene Symbol: CsSPL
- Gene Name: SPOROCYTELESS
- Genome: Cucumis sativus ASM407v2
- Species: Cucumis sativus
Functional Descriptions:
- CsSPL functions as an adaptor between HD-ZIP III and CsWUS transcription factors regulating anther and ovule development in cucumber.
- Knock-down of CsSPL reduced male and female fertility with malformed pollen and suppressed ovule development.
- CsSPL acts as an adaptor to link CsPHB and CsWUS functioning, underpinning a previously unidentified regulatory pathway orchestrating sex organ development in planta.
- Biochemical analyses further showed that CsSPL stimulated the expression of AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR 3 (CsARF3), and was positively regulated by CsARF13 during reproductive organ development, indicating sequential interactions of CsSPL with auxin signaling components in orchestrating anther and ovule development.
