RHD2 — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C015312.2, the melon (Cucumis melo) gene CmRHD2 on chromosome 3, encodes a protein containing NADPH oxidase, FAD-binding, and EF-hand calcium-binding domains, with NAD(P)H oxidase H2O2-forming activity, calcium ion binding, and multiple kinase activities. This gene is associated with the respiratory burst involved in defense response, immune response-regulating signaling pathways, defense response by callose deposition, and H2O2 biosynthetic process. It is linked to root hair elongation and development, root growth, lateral root induction, auxin distribution, and cell wall strength. Associations also include grain yield, seed yield, biomass yield, bacterial blight disease resistance, aphid response, water use efficiency, leaf rolling response, phototropism, aluminum response, osmotic sensitivity, brassinosteroid sensitivity, and ethylene sensitivity. The protein localizes to the protein storage vacuole, cytosolic ribosome, endosome, nucleolus, ER, plant-type vacuole, Golgi complex, plastid, and extracellular region.
