Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: ClERF4
• Gene Name: ethylene-responsive transcription factor 4
• Genome: Citrullus lanatus (Watermelon (97103) v2)
• Species: Citrullus lanatus

Functional Descriptions:

• ClERF4 in regulating watermelon rind hardness and implied that ethylene is a common regulator of fruit firmness in both climacteric and nonclimacteric fruits.
• An ethylene-responsive transcription factor 4 (ClERF4) associated with variation in rind hardness via a combinatory genetic map with bulk segregant analysis (BSA).
• Our fine-mapping approach revealed an InDel of 11 bp and a neighbouring SNP in the ClERF4 gene on chromosome 10, conferring cracking resistance in F2 populations with variable rind hardness.
