LEG — Glycine max

Summary

GmLEG (GLYMA_03G163467V4) on soybean chromosome 3 encodes a seed storage protein belonging to the 11S seed storage globulin family (Cupin 1 superfamily), with annotated molecular functions including nutrient reservoir activity, IgG binding, IgE binding, and alpha-amylase inhibitor activity. The gene is associated with seed development, embryogenesis, protein storage in the protein storage vacuole and endoplasmic reticulum, as well as nodulation, response to flooding, proline metabolism, protein homotrimerization, pore formation, clotting, fermentation, digestion, translation initiation, NO storage, and proteolysis. It is linked to seed protein content, soluble protein content, amino acid content, and seed maturation. Related genes in other species are associated with seed weight, seed size, seed dormancy, and starch, glucose, and oligosaccharide content.
