- Observation The full-length CP-PAL sequence is 1 720 bp with an open reading frame of 1 359 bp.
- Observation CP-PAL encodes a polypeptide of 452 amino acids.
- Observation CP-PAL nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences are highly homologous to PAL of Cucumis sativus.
- Observation CP-PAL contains three functional domains and the typical PAL active site sequence.
- Observation CP-PAL is most likely located in the cytoplasm and endoplasmic reticulum and has no signal peptide.
- Observation CP-PAL is very closely related to PAL of Cucumis sativus in phylogeny.
- Observation PAL expression increased in hulled C. pepo after 20 days of self-pollination.
- Observation PAL expression decreased in hull-less C. pepo after 20 days of self-pollination.
- Observation PAL expression was lower in hull-less than in hulled C. pepo.
