D11 — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C009753.2, also known as CmD11, encodes a protein with a bZIP domain and a TGA domain, annotated with salicylic acid binding, calmodulin binding, and disulfide oxidoreductase activity. In melon, this gene is associated with cold tolerance and a wide range of developmental and stress-related processes, including bract and petal formation, nectary and stamen development, meristem determinacy, and responses to photooxidative stress, superoxide, nitrate starvation, and xenobiotic stimuli. It is linked to traits such as flower abscission zone morphology, seed set, plant male sterility, drought sensitivity, and resistance to diseases including cucurbit downy mildew, bacterial blight, and various fungal pathogens. The encoded protein localizes to the nucleus, cytosol, mitochondria, and plasma membrane.
