AMS — Cucumis melo
Summary
MELO3C021653.2, designated CmAMS, encodes a bHLH transcription factor on melon chromosome 10. The protein possesses DNA-binding, chromatin-binding, and dimerization activities, and localizes to the nucleus and cytoplasm. CmAMS is associated with anther morphogenesis, tapetum cell differentiation and development, pollen development, and regulation of jasmonic acid signaling and defense responses. It is also linked to phosphate starvation responses, anthocyanin biosynthesis, and shoot development. Associations with plant male sterility, stamen and anther morphology, pollen fertility restoration, seed coat color, sugar content, root development, and disease tolerance have been noted. Related genes in other species are linked to male fertility, tapetal cell development, microspore development, pollen wall and exine formation, and sporophytic male sterility.
