Fine Mapping and Transcriptome Analysis of Virescent Leaf Gene v-2 in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)
Zhang, Kaijing; Li, Ying; Zhu, Wenwei; Wei, Yifan; Njogu, Martin Kagiki; Lou, Qunfeng; Li, Ji; Chen, Jinfeng (Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020)Leaf color mutants are the ideal materials to explore the pathways of chlorophyll metabolism, chloroplast development and photosynthesis system. In this study, a new virescent leaf mutant 104Y was identified by spontaneous ... -
Genome-Wide Identification of GASA Gene Family in Ten Cucurbitaceae Species and Expression Analysis in Cucumber
Zhang, Kaijing; Hu, Yuchao; Yang, Dekun; Yan, Congsheng; Li, Nanyang; Li, Ziang; Njogu, Martin Kagiki; Wang, Xing; Jia, Li (MDPI, 2022)Gibberellic acid-stimulated in Arabidopsis (GASA), a unique small molecular protein of plants, plays an essential role in plant growth and development. The GASA family genes have been identified and studied in many plants. ... -
Genome-Wide Identification of the B-Box Gene Family and Expression Analysis Suggests Their Potential Role in Photoperiod-Mediated β-Carotene Accumulation in the Endocarp of Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) Fruit
Obel, Hesbon Ochieng; Cheng, Chunyan; Li, Ying; Tian, Zhen; Njogu, Martin Kagiki; Li, Ji; Lou, Qunfeng; Yu, Xiaqing; Yang, Zhengan; Ogweno, Joshua Otieno; Chen, Jinfeng (MDPI, 2022)Carotenoids are indispensable to plants and essential for human nutrition and health. Carotenoid contents are strongly influenced by light through light-responsive genes such as B-Box (BBX) genes. BBX proteins, a class ... -
Genome-Wide Identification, Phylogenetic and Expression Pattern Analysis of GATA Family Genes in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)
Zhang, Kaijing; Jia, Li; Yang, Dekun; Hu, Yuchao; Njogu, Martin Kagiki; Wang, Panqiao; Lu, Xiaomin; Yan, Congsheng (MDPI, 2021)GATA transcription factors are a class of transcriptional regulatory proteins that contain a characteristic type-IV zinc finger DNA-binding domain, which play important roles in plant growth and development. The GATA ...
