Gene Details:
- Gene ID: Csa5M623470.1
- Gene Symbol: CsaMLO8
- Gene Name: MLO-like susceptibility gene8
- Genome: Cucumis sativus ASM407v2
- Species: Cucumis sativus
Functional Descriptions:
- CsaMLO8 alleles from susceptible and resistant cucumber were cloned and transformed to mlo-mutant tomato.
- CsaMLO8 was characterised as a functional susceptibility gene to PM, particularly in the hypocotyl where it was transcriptionally upregulated upon inoculation with the PM pathogen P. xanthii.
- A loss-of-function mutation in CsaMLO8 due to the insertion of a transposable element was found to be the cause of hypocotyl resistance to PM.
- This particular allele of CsaMLO8 was found to occur in 27 % of the resequenced cucumber accessions.
