GLYMA_03G223400V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_03G223400v4 on soybean chromosome 3 encodes a protein with pectinesterase catalytic and inhibitor domains, and the gene is annotated for both pectinesterase activity and pectinesterase inhibitor activity. It is associated with cell wall modification, pectin breakdown, and multidimensional cell growth, as well as with auxin metabolism, flavonoid metabolism, and phenylpropanoid anabolism. The gene has been connected to nitrogen fixation, the MAPK cascade, immune response, and secretion. It is linked to pollen tube localisation and to traits including seed weight, seed size, plant height, stem elongation, flavonoid content, cytoplasmic male sterility, heterosis, and high temperature stress response. Studies of related genes in other species place the family within pectinesterase function.
