CSA — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C032396.2 (symbol CSA, also known as CmTSF, MYB44, CmMYB44, TSF) on melon chromosome 8 encodes a MYB transcription factor with RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding and chromatin-binding activities. The gene is associated with fruit development and ripening, anther and pollen development, starch and sucrose metabolism, ethylene biosynthesis, stomatal movement, and responses to auxin, cold, and salinity. It is also linked to sugar content. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to stomatal resistance and anthocyanin content. The product localises to the nucleus.
