Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: CsBPC2
• Gene Name: BASIC PENTACYSTEINE 2
• Genome: Cucumis sativus ASM407v2
• Species: Cucumis sativus

Functional Descriptions:

• CsBPC2 knockout reduced cucumber cold tolerance by increasing the chilling injury index, relative electrical conductivity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content and decreasing antioxidant enzyme activity.
• These results strongly suggested that CsBPC2 knockout not only affected cold function genes but also decreased the levels of some key metabolites under cold stress.
• Knockout of CsBPC2 changed the root architecture and may affect root absorption of cucumber seedlings.
• Compared with WT, the leaf growth of the CsBPC2 mutants was not affected. However, the palisade and spongy tissue were significantly thinner, which was not beneficial for photosynthesis.
• The CsBPC2 mutants had a hypersensitive phenotype, with increased leaf chlorosis, decreased biomass, and increased malondialdehyde and electrolytic leakage levels under salt stress conditions.
• CsBPC2 may enhance the cucumber response to salt stress. It may also function as an important regulator of ABA biosynthesis and signal transduction.
