MLO — Cucumis melo
Summary
MELO3C016709.2, symbol MLO, is a melon (Cucumis melo) gene on chromosome 8 that encodes a calmodulin-binding membrane protein. The gene is associated with defense response and mating, and its product localizes to the membrane, mitochondria, and nucleus. MLO is linked to root thigmomorphogenesis. Studies of related genes in other species connect the MLO family to powdery mildew resistance in Cucumis/Camelina species and bacterial wilt resistance in tomato, as well as to wheat powdery mildew disease response and light-dependent aberrant root curling.
