NAC — Cucumis melo
Summary
MELO3C010500.2, designated CmNAC, encodes a NAC domain-containing transcription activator on melon chromosome 8. The protein localises to the nucleus and cytoplasm and possesses DNA-binding transcription factor activity. CmNAC is associated with the regulation of leaf senescence, root hair elongation, anther development, abscission, photomorphogenesis, and defence responses to fungi. It has been linked to lignin and glucosinolate metabolism, calcium signalling, hypoxia and sucrose responses, and downregulation of abscisic acid-mediated signalling. Associations with agronomic traits include fruit shape, carpel number, photosynthetic rate, respiration rate, ethylene sensitivity, lignin content, seedling growth, root thickness, and disease tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to drought tolerance, pathogen resistance, thermomemory, and salt stress sensitivity.
