MLO — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C026525.2, designated MLO on melon chromosome 4, encodes a calmodulin-binding protein. The gene is associated with defense response, pollen tube reception and guidance, mating, and protein localization to the plasma membrane. Its product localizes to the endomembrane system, membrane, plasmalemma, cytoplasm, nucleus, and mitochondria. Related genes in other species link the MLO family to powdery mildew resistance, drought tolerance, shoot dry weight, defective pollen tube guidance, reduced fertility, and calcium signaling.
