ACS — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_05G211700V4 (GmACS) encodes a 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase and also possesses transaminase, phosphatase, and protein kinase binding activities. In soybean, this gene is associated with ethylene production, leaf abscission, floral organ abscission, and responses to water, mechanical stimulus, aluminum, and nitrogen or potassium starvation. It is linked to traits including seed yield, protein content, vegetative vigor, leaf length, shoot growth angle, root development, stomatal resistance and closure, anthocyanin content, cold and oxidative stress tolerance, and resistance to Verticillium wilt, necrotrophic pathogens, and Pseudomonas syringae. The encoded protein localizes to the cytosol, plasma membrane, plastid, mitochondria, and plasmodesmata. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to ozone tolerance, iron acquisition, and Botrytis cinerea susceptibility.
