MELO3C019799.2 — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C019799.2 on melon chromosome 4 encodes a phosphoglucosamine mutase, an enzyme with phosphomutase and phosphomannomutase activity. The gene is associated with oxidative phosphorylation, aerenchyma formation, protein processing, sucrose metabolism, fruit ripening, and signal transduction. It is linked to chloroplast stroma and cytosol localisation, and to pathways including starch biosynthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, root gravitropism, seed development, and responses to abiotic stimuli. Associations with sucrose content, sugar content, and photosynthetic rate have been noted. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to starch concentration, phosphorus content, reducing sugar content, amylose content, glucose content, amino acid content, seed weight, net photosynthetic rate, and stomatal opening.
