CRB — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C012886.2 (symbol CRB, also known as CmCRB) on melon chromosome 5 encodes a protein with 11S seed storage globulin and cupin superfamily domains, and is annotated with nutrient reservoir activity and the ability to bind IgG, IgE, and phosphorylated amino acids. The gene is associated with seed development, germination, fruit development and ripening, flower development, sex determination, carpel and stamen development, abscission, and cotyledon development. It is linked to photoprotection, xanthophyll metabolism, abscisic acid and ethylene anabolism, regulation of superoxide release, and cellular response to abscisic acid stimulus. Associations with traits include violaxanthin and neoxanthin content, abscisic acid concentration, floral and organ identity, photosynthetic rate, and root morphology. The protein localizes to the endosperm protein body, protein storage vacuole, chloroplast envelope, stroma, and endoplasmic reticulum.
