P5CS — Glycine max

Summary

GmP5CS (GLYMA_03G069400V4) on soybean chromosome 3 encodes a protein with glutamate 5-kinase activity and glutamylphosphate reductase activity, and is associated with the L-proline biosynthetic process. It is associated with proline metabolism and breakdown, arginine metabolism, response to water, stomatal opening, water transport, and cellular homeostasis. GmP5CS is linked to drought tolerance, salt tolerance, plant height, root length and volume, leaf area index, leaf chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, cell membrane stability, acid sensitivity, abscisic acid sensitivity, leaf chlorosis, and grain weight traits. The encoded protein localizes to the cytoplasm.
