ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: Four Ethylene-Insensitive3 (EIN3) and EIN3-Like (EILs) genes were identified from the genome-wide database of melon. Phylogenetic analysis, numbers of intron analysis and alignment of sequence similarity was performed in EIN3/EILs gene family in melon. By means of analyzing ESTs which matched with EIN3/EILs proteins, the result show that EIN3/EILs genes were expressed in different tissues, part of genes specific expressed with high abundance in fruit and callus, and different members of EIN3/EILs gene family exhibits difference in patterns of expression. The results of protein interaction network showed that CmEIL02 integrate with multiple ERF proteins.
