ADC1 — Glycine max

Summary

GmADC1 (GLYMA_06G007500V4) on soybean chromosome 6 encodes a protein with arginine decarboxylase activity and protein homodimerization activity, and contains Arg_decrbxlase, Orn/DAP/Arg_de-COase, and PLP-binding barrel domains. The gene is associated with polyamine metabolism, putrescine anabolism, arginine breakdown, spermidine anabolism, nicotine anabolism, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, seed growth, nitrogen fixation, response to oxidative stress, osmotic response, response to jasmonic acid, response to wounding, and salinity response. The protein localizes to the cytosol and nucleus. Associations include root dry weight, photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, salt tolerance, iron deficiency tolerance, root meristem size, bacterial disease resistance, cold tolerance, seed germination, plant height, and leaf development. Related genes in other species link the family to putrescine accumulation, polyamine content, seed development, root architecture, shoot meristem formation, drought tolerance, plant growth, flowering time, and freezing tolerance.
