Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: CsRDR1b
  • Gene Name: RNA-dependent RNA polymerase 1b
  • Genome: Cucumis sativus ASM407v2
  • Species: Cucumis sativus

Functional Descriptions:

  • The expression of all four CsRDR1 genes was induced by virus infection, after which the expression level of CsRDR1b increased 10–20-fold in several virus-resistant cucumber cultivars and in a broad virus-resistant transgenic cucumber line expressing a high level of transgene small RNAs, all without alteration in salicylic acid (SA) levels.
  • A constitutive high level of CsRDR1b gene expression independent of SA was found to be associated with broad virus resistance.
  • Multiple CsRDR1 genes are involved in virus resistance in cucumber and are regulated in a coordinated fashion with different expression profiles. These CsRDR1 genes may have either distinct or overlapping functions.
  • These findings show that multiple CsRDR1 genes are involved in virus resistance in cucumber and are regulated in a coordinated fashion with different expression profiles.
