Gene Details:

  • Gene ID: CsaV3_5G039160
  • Gene Symbol: CsTEN
  • Gene Name: Tendril
  • Genome:
  • Species: Cucumis sativus

Functional Descriptions:

  • Although expression of two cucumber genes regulating tendril formation, Tendril (CsTEN) and Unusual Floral Organs (CsUFO), was significantly decreased in CsTL knockout lines, these two genes were not direct downstream targets of CsTL.
  • CsTL physically interacted with CsTEN, an interaction that further enhanced CsTEN-mediated expression of CsUFO.
  • Demonstrated that CsTL interacted with CsTEN, influencing tendril formation by increasing the expression of CsUFO.
  • Two tendril regulators, namely CsTEN and CsUFO, showed reduced transcription in CsTL knockout lines but were not direct downstream targets of CsTL.
  • CsTL promotes tendril formation by forming a complex with CsTEN that directly activates CsUFO expression in cucumber.
