ACO — Glycine max

Summary

GmACO (GLYMA_02G268000V4) on soybean chromosome 2 encodes a protein with ACC oxidase activity and 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase activity, and binds vitamin C and metal ions. The gene is associated with ethene metabolism, regulation of hormone levels, GABA biosynthesis, ALA metabolism, regulation of DNA replication, melatonin anabolism, regulation of flavonoid anabolism, cellular response to fatty acid, chlorophyll metabolism, response to hormone, leaf abscission, abscission, stomatal opening, glutathione metabolism, lipogenesis, ER stress response, coumarin anabolism, and nitrogen fixation. Associations include drought tolerance, germination rate, respiration rate, ethylene sensitivity, disease resistance, ethylene biosynthesis, nitrogen deficiency response, and ethylene production. The product localizes to stress granules, extracellular space, cytosol, and cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to seed weight, seed size, seedling growth, root length, lignin and cellulose content, and disease tolerance.
