Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Cla015407
• Gene Symbol: Cldf
• Gene Name:
• Genome: latermelon database 97103 V1 (http://cucurbitgenomics.org/organism/1)
• Species: Citrullus lanatus

Functional Descriptions:

• A point mutation resulting in a 13 bp deletion in the coding sequence of Cldf leads to a GA-deficient dwarf phenotype in watermelon.
• The dwarf phenotype of Cldf could be rescued by exogenous GA3 application. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that the small multigene family GA3ox (GA3 oxidase) in cucurbit species may originate from three ancient lineages in Cucurbitaceae.
• The mutant allele Cldf, which carries a premature stop codon that produces a truncated protein with only 173 amino acid residues, lacks the conserved motif NyYPXCXXP , which is considered to be involved in the binding of 2-oxoglutarate43.
