Fig 7. A working model for vasculature regulator CsIVP functioning in organ morphogenesis and downy mildew resistance in cucumber.

Fig 7

(A) CsIVP regulates organ morphogenesis via 2 pathways, one by directly promoting the expression of vascular-related genes—including CsYAB5 and CsBP—to regulate vascular development, and the other by directly binding to the E-box of CsAUX4 to mediate auxin signaling. Grey arrow indicates the putative positive role of auxin in vascular development. (B) CsIVP may act as a repressor for SA production and physically interacts with CsNIMIN1 to compromise downy mildew resistance in cucumber. Black arrows, positive regulation; black crosses, inhibition regulation; red arrows, transcription start; black dotted crosses, putative inhibition regulation.
