LRR4 — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C021831.2, also known as CmLRR4 or LRRAC1, encodes a protein on melon chromosome 12 that contains NB-ARC, Rx_N, and leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains and is annotated with adenylyl cyclase activity, ATP binding, and protein binding. The gene is associated with defense responses to bacteria, fungi, and other organisms, as well as antiviral response and hypersensitive response-programmed cell death. It has been linked to brassinosteroid-mediated signaling and localizes to multiple cellular compartments including the nucleus, cytoplasm, membrane, and plant-type vacuole. Associations with agronomic traits include nitrate uptake, sugar content, leaf composition, seedling growth and development, and organ identity. Related genes in other species are linked to immune response, organ size, and calcium signaling.
