Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Csa7M446860
• Gene Symbol: CsKF1
• Gene Name: Kinesin protein1
• Genome: Cucumis sativus ASM407v2
• Species: Cucumis sativus

Functional Descriptions:

• Characterization and expression profiling of cucumber kinesin genes during early fruit development: revealing the roles of kinesins in exponential cell production and enlargement in cucumber fruit.
• Function of novel kinesins CsKF1, CsKF2, and CsKF3 in early cucumber fruit development.
• The results also indicated that CsKF1 localized to the plasma membrane of fast-expanding fruit cells, that CsKF2 might play a role in fruit chloroplast division, and that CsKF3 is involved in the function or formation of phragmoplasts in fruit telophase cells.
• The results strongly suggest that specific fruit-enriched kinesins are specialized in their functions in rapid cell division and expansion during cucumber fruit development.
