Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Csa016861
• Gene Symbol: CsTu
• Gene Name: Tuberculate fruit
• Genome: cucumber genome sequence (http://cuke.vcru.wisc.edu/wenglab/gy14-9930/blast/index.html)
• Species: Cucumis sativus

Functional Descriptions:

• Tuberculate fruit gene Tu encodes a C2H2 zinc finger protein that is required for the warty fruit phenotype in cucumber.
• Here we show that Tu could not be expressed in the glabrous and tubercule-free mutant line gl that contained Tu, this result that futher confirmed the epistatic effect of the trichome (spine) gene Gl over Tu.
• Tu seems to affect the expression of genes that are homologous to CTK hydroxylase.
• A CsTu-TS1 regulatory module promotes fruit tubercule formation in cucumber.
• CsTu, a C2H2 zinc finger domain transcription factor that regulates tubercule initiation, binds directly to the CsTS1 promoter and promotes its expression.
