Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Csa_4G470690
• Gene Symbol: CsAAP2
• Gene Name: Amino acid transporter transmembrane domain-containing protein
• Genome: Cucumis sativus ASM407v2
• Species: Cucumis sativus

Functional Descriptions:

• CsAAP2 knockout lines exhibited arrested development of root meristem, which then caused the delayed initiation of lateral root and the inhibition of root elongation.
• Disruption of the amino acid transporter CsAAP2 inhibits auxin-mediated root development in cucumber.
• The CsAAP2 as a candidate gene encoding a functional amino acid transporter is highly expressed in cucumber root vascular cells.
• Knockout of CsAAP2 could lead to the arrested development of root meristem, the delayed initiation of lateral root, and the inhibition of root elongation, as well as the excessive accumulation of lignin in root at early development.
