GR — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_02G141800V4 (GmGR) encodes a protein with glutathione reductase activity, leghemoglobin reductase activity, dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (NADH) activity, thioredoxin reductase (NADPH) activity, and protein translocase activity, and binds FAD, NADP, copper, and ATP. The gene is associated with the ascorbate-glutathione cycle, glucose breakdown, threonine and 2-oxoglutarate metabolism, glycine decarboxylation, methanal catabolism, mycose biosynthesis, protein acetylation and oxidation, mitochondrial protein import, and responses to glyphosate and water. It is linked to numerous agronomic traits including drought tolerance, seed longevity and viability, seed weight, germination rate, plant height, root yield and length, shoot fresh weight, biomass yield, photosynthetic rate, water use efficiency, chlorophyll and carotenoid content, leaf relative water content, cell membrane stability, and nitrogen, proline, glucose, and abscisic acid content. Related genes in other species connect the family to redox homeostasis, embryo development, leaf senescence, stomatal aperture, and stress tolerance.
