LHP1 — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C006209.2, designated CmLHP1 (also known as CmTFL2), encodes a protein with histone binding, chromatin binding, structural constituent of chromatin, and DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase activity, among other annotated molecular functions. It is associated with floral whorl development, sepal formation, leaf shaping, shoot morphogenesis, sex determination, heterochromatin organization, epigenetic programming in the endosperm, and regulation of cell fate determination. CmLHP1 is linked to yield, photoperiod-sensitive flowering time, Meloidogyne incognita resistance, anthocyanin content, sulfur content, vegetative growth time, responses to jasmonic acid, ethylene, cytokinin, and abiotic stress, and inflorescence and floral organ development traits.
