GLYMA_06G017900V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GmCAT (GLYMA_06G017900V4) on soybean chromosome 6 encodes a catalase family protein, characterized by catalase core, haem-binding, and immune-responsive domains, and is annotated with diverse molecular functions including nucleoside diphosphate kinase activity, heme binding, and protein kinase activity. The gene is associated with peroxisomal lumen localization and linked to numerous traits such as osmotic adjustment capacity, relative chlorophyll content, seedling vigor, net photosynthetic rate, leaf water potential, root and shoot biomass, and flavonoid content. It has been connected to phenotypes including oxidative stress tolerance, hydrogen peroxide accumulation, stomatal closure, seed germination, and immunity-triggered cell death. Studies of related genes in other species link the catalase family to peroxisomal protein import, disease resistance, and organ size.
