C4H — Cucumis melo
Summary
MELO3C019585.2, symbol C4H and also known as CmC4H, encodes a trans-cinnamate 4-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.14.91), a cytochrome P450 family protein that binds iron and heme. In melon, this gene is associated with naringenin chalcone accumulation and has been linked to lignin, flavonoid, phenylpropanoid, and ubiquinone metabolism, as well as wound healing, fruit and pollen development, and chlorophyll fluorescence. It is associated with traits including flavonoid and sucrose content, and with phenotypes such as UV-B protection, wound response, lignin deposition, male fertility, plant growth, Casparian strip formation, and auxin transport. The gene product localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, membrane, nucleus, and other cellular compartments. Studies of related genes in other species link them to lignification, dwarfism, altered phenylpropanoid metabolism, and abiotic stress adaptation.
