IQ domain protein CsSUN interacts with the Calmodulin protein CsCaM11 to regulate fruit length of cucumber
Abstract Fruit length is an important fruit quality which greatly influences the preference of consumers, but the underlying genetic mechanism regulating the fruit length in cucumber remains not very clear. In this study, the candidate gene CsSUN about the major QTL FS1.1 was cloned based on the near-isogenic lines (NILs) sun161 and SUN162. CsSUN had a 161 bp deletion in the first exon…
