TCP1 — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C002754.2, designated CmTCP1 on melon chromosome 13, encodes a protein containing a CYC/TB1_R domain and a TCP domain, and is annotated with DNA-binding transcription activator activity, protein dimerization activity, and pinoresinol reductase activity. This gene is associated with specification of symmetry, determination of dorsoventral asymmetry, adaxial/abaxial axis specification, and proximal/distal pattern formation. It is linked to regulation of plant organ morphogenesis, positive regulation of photomorphogenesis, regulation of photosynthesis light reaction, positive regulation of anthocyanin metabolism, and negative regulation of DNA-templated DNA replication. Associations with agronomic traits include leaf flexibility, leaf area, vegetative vigor, whole plant size, seed set percent, shoot axis branching, plant male sterility, anther morphology, sepal and petal morphology, seedling cotyledon size, hypocotyl length, brassinosteroid content, gibberellic acid sensitivity, photoperiod-sensitive flowering time, temperature stress response, aphid response, and lignin biosynthesis. The gene localizes to the nucleus and cytoplasm.
