Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • Antisense expression of CsSUS3 clearly reduced cucumber tolerance to hypoxic stress induced by flooding.
  • Antisense suppression of cucumber (Cucumis sativusL.) sucrose synthase 3 (CsSUS3) reduces hypoxic stress tolerance.
  • CsSUS3 expression and SUS activity in roots increased, especially in the lateral roots| moreover, the soluble SUS activity increased clearly, but the membrane fraction hardly changed. Compared with the wild-type cucumbers, the transgenic lines with antisense expression of CsSUS3 were more sensitive to flooding.
  • These findings suggested CsSUS3 participated in resisting hypoxic stress. Furthermore, the mechanism of CsSUS3 in resisting hypoxic stress was also discussed.
