CRC — Cucumis melo

Summary

MELO3C034075.2 (symbol CRC, also known as CmCRC) on melon chromosome 11 encodes a YABBY family transcription factor containing YABBY_C and YABBY_N domains and a high-mobility-group box domain superfamily motif. The product has sequence-specific DNA binding, transcription cis-regulatory region binding, and zinc binding activities, and localises to the nucleus. This gene is associated with sex determination, specification of carpel identity, style development, floral meristem determinacy, stamen development, abaxial cell fate specification, regionalization, fruit development, fruit ripening, and ethylene anabolism. It has been linked to fruit length, floral organ identity, gynoecium development, and reproductive development. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to nectary development, carpel polarity, floral determinacy, and carpel fusion.
