MMP — Cucumis melo
Summary
MELO3C002936.2, designated CmMMP, encodes a metallopeptidase with metalloendopeptidase activity and zinc binding capability, belonging to the M10A matrix metalloproteinase family. In melon, this gene is associated with extracellular matrix organization, collagen breakdown, angiogenesis, and endothelial cell proliferation, as well as developmental vegetative growth, negative regulation of leaf senescence, and regulation of photoperiodism and flowering. It is linked to responses to jasmonic acid, cadmium, salinity, and fungal defence, and localizes to the extracellular matrix, apoplast, and plasma membrane. Associations with drought stress tolerance, auxin transport, root growth, resistance to necrotrophic fungal pathogens, and leaf senescence have been noted. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to plant growth, flowering time, senescence, and susceptibility to Botrytis cinerea.
