Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Csa_4G639900
• Gene Symbol: CsHEC1
• Gene Name: HECATE1
• Genome: Cucumis sativus ASM407v2
• Species: Cucumis sativus

Functional Descriptions:

• We found that cucumber CsHEC1 is highly expressed in the fruit neck region and plays a positive role in fruit neck elongation.
• The CsHEC1-CsOVATE module contributes to fruit neck length variation via modulating auxin biosynthesis in cucumber.
• HECATE1 (CsHEC1) positively regulates FNL by directly activating the auxin biosynthesis gene CsYUC4. CsOVATE, whose expression is negatively correlated with FNL, combats CsHEC1 to attenuate the CsHEC1-mediated CsYUC4 transcriptional activation.
• The CsHEC1-CsOVATE module to decrease local auxin levels during cucumber breeding but also provides significant insights into fruit shape regulation in pepo fruits.
