PHR1 — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C005584.2 (CmPHR1) on melon chromosome 10 encodes a class-2 DNA photolyase with CPD photolyase activity, FAD and DNA binding, and is annotated to photoreactive repair, UV protection and DNA repair. The protein localises to the plastid, cytoplasm and nucleus. CmPHR1 is associated with phosphate starvation response, phosphorus homeostasis, lateral root and root hair growth, anthocyanin accumulation, arsenate detoxification, hypoxia response, jasmonate response, nitrate uptake, carbon metabolism, triacylglycerol accumulation, and tolerance to high light and UV-C damage. It is also linked to miR399d expression and phosphate sensing. Related genes in other species are linked to photosynthesis efficiency, leaf senescence, flowering time, and arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis.
