MLO — Cucumis melo
Summary
MELO3C021515.2, symbol CmMLO, encodes a calmodulin-binding protein localised to the membrane, mitochondria and nucleus. In melon, this gene is associated with defense response and mating. It is also linked to root thigmomorphogenesis. Studies of related genes in other species connect the MLO family to powdery mildew resistance, bacterial wilt resistance, and wheat powdery mildew disease response. The family has also been associated with aberrant root curling on solid surfaces in a light-dependent manner.
