SPS — Cucumis melo
Summary
MELO3C003715.2 (symbol SPS) on melon chromosome 5 encodes a sucrose-phosphate synthase, an enzyme with sucrose-phosphate synthase activity. The gene is associated with sucrose anabolism and breakdown, hexose breakdown, starch metabolism, membrane breakdown, syngamy, fruit development, and fruit ripening. It is linked to sucrose content, sugar content, fruit weight, fruit size, plant height, stem diameter, net photosynthetic rate, and photosynthetic rate. Studies of related genes in other species (SPS1–SPS4) connect the family to the enzyme class EC 2.4.1.14.
