Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Csa_2G352420
• Gene Symbol: CsSEF1
• Gene Name: putative CCCH-type zinc finger protein
• Genome: Cucumis sativus ASM407v2
• Species: Cucumis sativus

Functional Descriptions:

• Expression of CsSEF1 gene encoding putative CCCH zinc finger protein is induced by defoliation and prolonged darkness in cucumber fruit.
• This increase in the expression of CsSEF1 was temporally correlated with the decline in the fruit respiration rate. In mature leaves under prolonged darkness, enhanced expression was observed in the asparagine synthetase gene, but not in CsSEF1.
• CsSEF1 gene action is located somewhere in the signal transduction pathway from photoassimilate starvation to the growth cessation of sink tissues, but is independent of the local sugar-sensing pathway.
• These results suggest that the asparagine synthetase gene can be a good marker for sugar starvation and that CsSEF1 might be involved in the signal transduction pathway from photoassimilate limitation to growth cessation in cucumber fruit.
