GLYMA_01G239700V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GmKAPP (GLYMA_01G239700V4) on soybean chromosome 1 encodes a protein with a forkhead-associated (FHA) domain and a protein phosphatase 2C (PP2C) domain, and exhibits protein serine/threonine phosphatase activity, [pyruvate kinase]-phosphatase activity, and receptor serine/threonine kinase binding. The gene is associated with diverse biological processes including phloem development, anther wall tapetum cell differentiation, pollen exine formation, isoflavonoid anabolism, detection of bacteria, and response to desiccation and aluminum. It has been linked to traits such as bacterial blight disease resistance, aphid response, seed longevity, root width, leaf rolling, plant male sterility, brassinosteroid content, and nitrate uptake. Related genes in other species are associated with meristem maintenance, stem cell specification, flagellin perception, and antiviral resistance.
