Gene Details:

• Gene ID: MELO3C007423
• Gene Symbol: CmFBN1
• Gene Name: FIBRILLIN1
• Genome:
• Species: Cucumis melo

Functional Descriptions:

• Carotenoid sequestration protein FIBRILLIN (CmFBN1) participates in CmOR-regulated β-carotene accumulation in melon.
• CmFBN1 expresses highly in melon fruit tissue. Overexpression of CmFBN1 in transgenic Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) containing ORHis that genetically mimics CmOr significantly enhances carotenoid accumulation, demonstrating its involvement in CmOR-induced carotenoid accumulation.
• Findings show that CmOR directly regulates CmFBN1 protein levels and suggest a fundamental role of CmFBN1 in facilitating plastoglobule proliferation for carotenoid sequestration.
• CmFBN1 protein to stimulate plastoglobule proliferation and enhance OR-triggered carotenoid accumulation in chromoplasts.
