Gene Details:

• Gene ID: MELO3C003069–70
• Gene Symbol: CmPPR1
• Gene Name: white-flesh
• Genome:
• Species: Cucumis melo

Functional Descriptions:

• QTL analysis of flesh color intensity identified a candidate white-flesh gene (CmPPR1), one of two major loci determining fruit flesh color in melon.
• CmPPR1 encodes a member of the pentatricopeptide protein family, involved in processing of RNA in plastids, where carotenoid and chlorophyll pigments accumulate.
• A CmPPR1 gene potentially underlying the wf locus and affecting plastid-nucleus communication.
• CmPPR1, involved in RNA editing in plastids and affecting flesh color.
