Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Csa5G322500
• Gene Symbol: CsSUS4
• Gene Name: Sucrose Synthase 4
• Genome:
• Species: Cucumis sativus

Functional Descriptions:

• Down-Regulating Cucumber Sucrose Synthase 4 (CsSUS4) Suppresses the Growth and Development of Flowers and Fruits.
• Transcript analyses showed that CsSUS4 was predominantly expressed in sink organs, particularly in flowers, fruits and roots, and that CsSUS4 protein was localized to companion cells and phloem parenchyma cells.
• Down-regulation of CsSUS4 expression resulted in a decrease in SUS activity in conjunction with lower hexose, starch and cellulose contents in fruits, and led to an overall reduction in the size and weight of flowers and fruits.
• CsSUS4 overexpression (OE) lines exhibited increased carbohydrate content, and larger and heavier flowers and fruits.
• These results demonstrate that CsSUS4 plays important roles in the growth and development of cucumber flowers and fruits.
