Gene Details:

  • Gene ID: Csa6M292430
  • Gene Symbol: CsaMLO11
  • Gene Name: Mildew Locus O11
  • Genome:
  • Species: Cucumis sativus

Functional Descriptions:

  • CsaMLO1 and CsaMLO11 were cloned from cucumber and overexpressed in a tomato mlo mutant.
  • Heterologous overexpression of all three CsaMLO genes in the tomato mlo mutant restored susceptibility to PM caused by Oidium neolycopersici, albeit to a different extent: whereas overexpression of CsaMLO1 or CsaMLO8 completely restored susceptibility, overexpression of CsaMLO11 was only partially able to restore PM susceptibility.
  • Both CsaMLO1 and CsaMLO11 are functional susceptibility genes, although we conclude that based on the transcript abundance CsaMLO8 is probably the major clade V MLO gene in cucumber regarding providing susceptibility to PM.
  • Potential loss-of-function mutations in CsaMLO1 and CsaMLO11 have not been identified. The generation and analysis of such mutants are interesting subjects for further investigation.
