OR — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C005449.2, designated OR (CmOR) on melon chromosome 10, encodes a protein with Orange-like domains and annotated PSase activity and protein binding. This gene is associated with regulation of response to stress, chromoplast organization, upregulation of carotenoid anabolism, carotene anabolism, protein stabilization, de-etiolation, carotenoid anabolism, response to stress, chloroplast organization, polar cell growth, and response to light stimulus. It localizes to the plastid, chloroplast membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Associations include alpha carotene content, plastid development trait, carotenoid content, seed growth and development trait, cell elongation, chloroplast biogenesis, seed germination, abscisic acid content, provitamin A carotenoid content, salt stress response, chlorophyll accumulation, abscisic acid biosynthesis, chlorophyll biosynthesis, plastid biogenesis, photosynthetic development, and carotenoid synthesis. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to thermotolerance, flowering time, leaf virescence, fruit development, chromoplast differentiation, and fruit flesh color.
