Gene Details:

  • Gene ID: Cla97C01G008760
  • Gene Symbol: ClPsy1
  • Gene Name: phytoene synthase 1
  • Genome:
  • Species: Citrullus lanatus

Functional Descriptions:

  • Nucleotide variation in the phytoene synthase (ClPsy1) gene contributes to golden flesh in watermelon.
  • Nonsynonymous SNP mutations in the first exon of ClPsy1 between parental lines co-segregated with the gf trait only among individuals in the genetic population and were not related to flesh color in natural watermelon panels.
  • Further research findings indicate that the gf trait is determined not only by ClPsy1 but also by ClLCYB, ClCRTISO and ClNCED7, which play important roles in watermelon β-carotene accumulation.
  • Two ClMYBs may be important transcription factors regulating the expression level of ClPsy1.
