ERF1 — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C019725.2, designated CmERF1 (also known as ERF1, ERF3, ERF7), encodes a protein with an AP2/ERF domain and is annotated with DNA binding transcription factor activity, transcription corepressor activity, sequence-specific DNA binding, and protein kinase activity. The gene is associated with response to flooding, cellular response to chitin, detection of molecules of bacterial and fungal origin, regulation of ethylene and abscisic acid signaling pathways, camalexin biosynthesis, floral meristem determinacy, and positive regulation of the hypersensitive response. It is linked to bacterial blight disease resistance, submergence tolerance, ethylene sensitivity, jasmonic acid content, high temperature stress response, photosynthetic rate, stomatal closure, salt tolerance, and flowering time. The gene is also associated with ammonium sensitivity, chlorophyll synthesis, leaf development, heat stress tolerance, and compromised pathogen resistance.
