ERF1 — Cucumis melo
Summary
MELO3C007241.2 (CmERF091, ERF1) on melon chromosome 9 encodes a transcription coactivator with sequence-specific DNA binding and transcription factor activity, belonging to the AP2/ERF domain superfamily. The gene is associated with trichome papilla formation and branching, fruit ripening, regulation of ethylene and jasmonic acid signaling pathways, defense responses to fungi, red and far-red light phototransduction, flower development regulation, and cell cycle and division. It is linked to traits including drought tolerance, disease tolerance, photosynthetic rate, flowering time, root oxidative activity, adventitious rootless, floral organ development, jasmonic acid content, and hypocotyl morphology. The encoded protein localizes to the nucleus, protoplasm, and mediator complex. Related genes in other species are linked to drought response, root architecture, and resistance to viruses.
