SGR3 — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C013834.2, also known as CmSGR3, encodes a syntaxin protein containing a T-SNARE domain, classified as a SNAP receptor (SNARE) with protein binding and kinase activities. In melon, this gene is associated with vesicle fusion, vacuolar organization, intracellular transport, membrane fusion, and cytokinesis via cell plate formation. It is linked to detection and intracellular transport of viruses, negative gravitropism, anther wall tapetum differentiation, and pollen exine formation. The encoded protein localizes to the SNARE complex, vacuolar membrane, endosome membrane, cell plate, and secretory vesicles. Associations with agronomic traits include brassinosteroid and gibberellin content, temperature stress response, stem senescence, root phototropism, flowering time, and plant growth and development. Related genes in other species are linked to shoot gravitropism, leaf morphology, plant height, salt tolerance, and vacuolar trafficking.
