GLYMA_02G208700V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GmGRF1 (GLYMA_02G208700V4) on soybean chromosome 2 encodes a 14-3-3 domain-containing protein. The gene product is annotated with numerous molecular functions including ion transporter activity, though these annotations are broad. GmGRF1 is associated with a wide range of traits, including ferulic acid content, zinc content, starch grain size, fruit yield, seed coat hardness, leaf chlorophyll content, plant dry weight, and abscisic acid concentration. It has also been linked to processes such as carbon fixation, photosynthetic capacity, chloroplast redox regulation, and disease resistance responses. Studies of related 14-3-3 family members in other species connect the family to fungal disease resistance, virus response, zinc translocation, and metal homeostasis, though these associations are not yet established for GmGRF1 itself.
