CLA — Cucumis melo
Summary
MELO3C021375.2 (CmCLA) on melon chromosome 12 encodes a protein with DXP-synthase and transketolase domains, and is annotated with malonyl-CoA decarboxylase, nicotinate-nucleotide adenylyltransferase, and DXP-synthase activities. In melon, the gene is associated with photosynthesis. It is linked to the methylerythritol phosphate pathway, thiamine and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate biosynthesis, and regulation of isopentenyl diphosphate biosynthesis via the mevalonate-independent route. Associations include seed protein content, seed size and yield, photosynthetic rate, chloroplast development, shoot system growth, and responses to high temperature and abiotic stress. The gene is also connected to volatile organic compound synthesis, defense response, drought response, fruit set, vacuolar sugar accumulation, and embryo development. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to carotenoid biosynthesis, chloroplast differentiation, photosynthesis rate, and disease resistance.
