Functional Descriptions:

  • CmFSI8/CmOFP13 was mainly expressed in the ovary, and genomic variation in its promoter was found to play a key role in its function by affecting its transcription, indicating that the expression level of CmFSI8/CmOFP13 was responsible for controlling melon fruit shape.
  • CmFSI8/CmOFP13 encoding an OVATE family protein controls fruit shape in melon.
  • Ectopic overexpression of CmFSI8/CmOFP13 in Arabidopsis led to multiple phenotypic changes, including kidney-shaped leaves and shortened siliques.
  • The transcription level of CmFSI8/CmOFP13 in the ovary of HP22 was significantly higher than that in B8, and sequence analysis showed that a 12.5-kb genomic variation with a retrotransposon insertion identified in the promoter was responsible for elevating the expression, and this ultimately caused the differences in fruit shape.
