OFP13 — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C012340.2, also known as OFP13 or CmOFP13, is a melon (Cucumis melo) gene on chromosome 11 that encodes an Ovate family protein containing Ovate and Ovate_C domains. The product is localized to the nucleus and is associated with protein binding, as well as with downregulation of transcription and DNA-dependent transcription. This gene is linked to yield trait and fruit shape. Studies of related Ovate family proteins in other species connect the family to additional traits including other miscellaneous traits and the clim-gs9 phenotype.
