HAP3 — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C009309.2, also known as CmHAP3, encodes a transcription factor of the NF-YB/HAP3 family, characterized by a histone-fold domain and CBF-A/NF-YB domain, with DNA-binding transcription activator activity specific to RNA polymerase II. In melon, this gene is associated with cold tolerance. It is linked to the regulation of photomorphogenesis, stomatal complex patterning and development, seed germination, flower development, and responses to far-red light and long-day photoperiods. Associations also include gibberellic acid and abscisic acid signaling, glucosinolate metabolism, and positive regulation of protein metabolism and unidimensional cell growth. The gene is connected to traits such as fruit length, photoperiod-sensitive flowering time, leaf chlorosis, seed dormancy, starch content, and disease tolerance. It localizes to the nucleus, cytoplasm, plastid, and RNA polymerase II, IV, and V complexes.
