GLYMA_05G119600V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GmELG (GLYMA_05G119600V4) on soybean chromosome 5 encodes a protein with leucine-rich repeat domains, a serine/threonine kinase domain, and guanylyl cyclase activity. It is associated with immune response-regulating signaling pathways, defense responses, and reactive oxygen species-mediated programmed cell death. The gene has been linked to plant immunity, PAMP-triggered immunity, and bacterial disease resistance, including fire blight and bacterial spot resistance. Associations also include grain yield, crop yield, leaf rolling, brassinosteroid content, shoot growth angle, root phototropism, and responses to humidity, temperature stress, aluminum, and aphids. The protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, endosome, plasmodesma, and heterotrimeric G-protein complex. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to cell death control, bacterial disease resistance, drought tolerance, and organ size regulation.
