BAM9 — Cucumis melo
Summary
MELO3C021362.2, designated CmBAM9, encodes a beta-amylase enzyme (EC 3.2.1.2) belonging to the glycosyl hydrolase 14 family. In melon, this gene is associated with starch and polysaccharide breakdown, sucrose metabolism, fruit development, and fruit ripening. It has been linked to sugar content and starch degradation, and the protein localises to the extracellular region. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to cold-induced sweetening and starch content, while sequence similarity links CmBAM9 to traits including starch concentration, reducing sugar content, and sucrose content.
