PAL1 — Glycine max

Summary

GmPAL1 (GLYMA_02G309300V4) on soybean chromosome 2 encodes a protein with a phenylalanine ammonia-lyase domain and exhibits ammonia-lyase and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity. The gene is associated with phytoalexin metabolism, siderophore transport, biofilm formation, chemotaxis, salicylic acid breakdown, isoflavonoid phytoalexin anabolism, glutamate metabolism, the ascorbate glutathione cycle, melatonin anabolism, isoquinoline alkaloid anabolism, L-phenylalanine breakdown, drought recovery, cinnamic acid anabolism, phytoalexin biosynthesis, negative regulation of cytokinin mediated signalling, lignin breakdown, salicylic acid anabolism, and regulation of phenylpropanoid metabolism. It has been linked to traits including respiration rate, abscisic acid content, net photosynthetic rate, flavonoid content, UV light sensitivity, phosphorus uptake, photosynthetic rate, root length, and salt tolerance. Phenotypic associations include magnetic field response, structural development, defense response, flavonoid synthesis, salt stress tolerance, phenylpropanoid pathway activity, UV-B tolerance, pathogen resistance, anthocyanin biosynthesis, cell death, phenylpropanoid pathway, lignin content, non-host resistance, disease resistance response, flavonoid biosynthesis, disease resistance, lignin biosynthesis, bacterial resistance, stress response, anthocyanin accumulation, freezing tolerance, salicylic acid biosynthesis, isoproturon accumulation, resistance
