NHX1 — Cucumis melo
Summary
MELO3C005228.2, also known as CmNHX1, encodes a sodium/hydrogen exchanger belonging to the CPA1 family, with lithium:proton and potassium:proton antiporter activities. This melon gene on chromosome 10 is associated with vacuolar membrane transport, sodium and potassium ion homeostasis, and cell pH regulation. It has been linked to yield traits, photosynthetic rate, stomatal resistance, and responses to abiotic stresses including high temperature, UV-B light, and salinity. Additional associations include plant height, root development, seedling growth, and sensitivity to abscisic acid and jasmonic acid. The gene product localizes to the tonoplast, vacuole, endosome, and plastid, and is connected to auxin content, meristem identity, and disease tolerance.
