Detection of ethylene receptor protein Cm‐ERS1 during fruit development in melon (Cucumis melo L.)

Abstract

Antibodies against melon ethylene receptor, Cm- ERS1 was prepared. Cm-ERS1 protein formed a disulphide-linked homodimer and it was present in microsomal membranes but not in soluble fractions. Cm-ERS1 protein was present at high levels in melon fruit during early developmental stages. This transition pattern was also observed in another melon cultivar.
