BG1 — Glycine max

Summary

GmBG1 (GLYMA_03G132700V4) on soybean chromosome 3 encodes a glycosyl hydrolase family 17 protein with glucan exo-1,3-beta-glucosidase, lichenase, cellulase, and glucan endo-1,3-beta-D-glucosidase activities, and also possesses protein phosphorylated amino acid binding and protein binding capabilities. The gene is associated with responses to bacteria, cell death, carbohydrate metabolism, nitrogen fixation, flavonoid and isoflavonoid metabolism, ethylene and phenylpropanoid anabolism, organogenesis, and fermentation. Its product localizes to the apoplast, plant-type cell wall, vacuole, Golgi complex, secretory vesicles, mitochondria, and cytosol. GmBG1 is associated with disease resistance, systemic acquired resistance, pathogen defense, dehydration resistance, salt tolerance, osmotic stress response, aphid susceptibility, callose deposition, anthocyanin accumulation, abscisic acid biosynthesis, phosphate acquisition, nitrate uptake and assimilation, leaf composition, seedling growth, and organ identity.
