Genome-Wide Characterization of the Methyl CpG Binding Domain-Containing Proteins in Watermelon and Functional Analysis of Their Roles in Disease Resistance Through Ectopic Overexpression in Arabidopsis thaliana

Genome-Wide Characterization of the Methyl CpG Binding Domain-Containing Proteins in Watermelon and Functional Analysis of Their Roles in Disease Resistance Through Ectopic Overexpression in Arabidopsis thaliana

Methyl-CPG-Binding Domain (MBD) proteins play important roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses. The present study characterized the MBD families in watermelon and other cucurbit plants regarding the gene numbers and structures, phylogenetic and syntenic relationships, evolution eve...
