LHY — Glycine max

Summary

GmLHY (GLYMA_03G261800V4) encodes a Myb-domain and SANT-domain transcription factor with DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific, and is also annotated with protein kinase regulator activity, histone H3K9 acetyltransferase activity, and phosphorelay regulator activity. The gene is associated with circadian regulation of gene expression, including temperature compensation of the circadian clock and downregulation of circadian rhythm. It is linked to photomorphogenesis, leaf senescence, starch metabolism, isoflavonoid anabolism, and anthocyanin metabolism. Associations with agronomic traits include photoperiod sensitivity, heterosis, seed viability, leaf area, root system morphology, cadmium and iron concentration, and responses to UV, far-red, and blue light. The gene is localized to the nucleus, cytosol, and mitochondria. Related genes in other species link the family to circadian rhythm, photoperiodic flowering, and stress tolerance.
