RSH — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C013953.2 (CmRSH) on melon chromosome 7 encodes a structural constituent of the cell wall, belonging to the plant lipid-transfer/defence-related protein family with a hydrophobic seed domain. The gene is associated with rhamnogalacturonan II biosynthesis, cell wall organization and modification, lignin anabolism, water transport, dedifferentiation, flower and root development, and defence response to bacteria. It localizes to the plant-type cell wall, membrane and plasmalemma. Associations with lignin content and drought tolerance have been noted, as have links to Agrobacterium tumefaciens transformation efficiency, cell wall integrity, plant viability, cell division, cotyledon opening and flowering time. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to transformation efficiency, cell wall assembly, dehydration response and organ expansion.
