N — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C022146.2 (symbol CmBWS1) on melon chromosome 10 encodes a protein with TIR, NB-ARC and LRR domains, and possesses NADP nucleosidase, ADP-ribosyl cyclase/cyclic ADP-ribose hydrolase, ATP hydrolase, DNA-binding transcription factor and protein-binding activities. The gene is associated with defence responses to bacteria and fungi, positive regulation of the hypersensitive response and programmed cell death, innate immune signalling, brassinosteroid-mediated signalling, response to cold, and NAD breakdown. It localises to the nucleus, cytosol, endomembrane system, chloroplast envelope, mitochondria and Golgi. Associations with agronomic traits include chilling tolerance, freezing tolerance, disease resistance (including to Pseudomonas syringae, Ralstonia solanacearum and Colletotrichum higginsianum), bacterial wilt tolerance, fruit wart formation, nitrate uptake, leaf composition, seedling growth and organ identity.
