Gene Details:

  • Gene ID: MELO3C003735
  • Gene Symbol: CmCAD3
  • Gene Name: Cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase 3
  • Genome:
  • Species: Cucumis melo

Functional Descriptions:

  • Lignin synthesized by CmCAD2 and CmCAD3 in oriental melon (Cucumis melo L.) seedlings contributes to drought tolerance.
  • CmCAD2 and CmCAD3 transgenic lines enhanced cadc cadd drought tolerance through recovering lignin synthesis and root development, accompanying with decreased electrolyte leakage ratios and increased RWCs, thus improved survival rates.
  • overexpressing CmCAD2 or CmCAD3 strongly recovered CAD activities, lignin synthesis and composition in Arabidopsis cadc cadd, whose lignin synthesis is disrupted, while CmCAD1 functioned modestly.
  • CmCAD2 and CmCAD3 function more positively than CmCAD1 in oriental melon for lignin synthesis which is important to ensure internal water status and thus for drought tolerance.
