Gene Details:

• Gene ID: MELO3C006209
• Gene Symbol: CmLHP1A
• Gene Name: LIKE HETEROCHROMATIN PROTEIN1
• Genome:
• Species: Cucumis melo

Functional Descriptions:

• CmLHP1 proteins play a key role in plant development and sex determination in melon.
• Here we show that melon homologs to Arabidopsis LHP1, CmLHP1A and B, redundantly control several aspects of plant development, including sex expression.
• CmLHP1Ab double mutants displayed an overall loss and redistribution of H3K27me3, leading to a deregulation of genes involved in hormone responses, plant architecture, and flower development.
• These results reveal a novel function for CmLHP1 proteins in maintenance of monoecy and provide novel insights into the polycomb-mediated epigenomic regulation of sex lability in plants.
