Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Csa_3G748220
• Gene Symbol: CsGL1
• Gene Name: Glabrous 1
• Genome: Cucumis sativus ASM407v2
• Species: Cucumis sativus

Functional Descriptions:

• CsGL1 controls the formation of cucumber trichomes, including foliar trichomes, fruit spines, and bloom trichomes.
• CsGL1 was isolated and it was found that it encoded a member of the homeodomain-leucine zipper I (HD-Zip I) proteins previously identified to function mainly in the abiotic stress responses of plants.
• A comparative analysis of the digital gene expression (DGE) profile between CsGL1 and WT leaves revealed that CsGL1 had a significant influence on the gene expression profile in cucumber, especially on genes related to cellular process, which is consistent with the phenotypic difference between CsGL1 and the WT.
• The characterization of trichome development in wild-type (WT) cucumber and a spontaneous mutant, glabrous 1 (CsGL1) controlled by a single recessive nuclear gene, with glabrous aerial organs, is reported.
