NSP2 — Glycine max

Summary

GmNSP2 (GLYMA_06G110800V4) encodes a GRAS family transcription factor with sequence-specific DNA binding and protein homodimerization activity. It is associated with nitrogen fixation, nodulation, arbuscular mycorrhizae formation, and response to symbiotic fungi, as well as root and leaf development, radial pattern formation, asymmetric cell division, bundle sheath cell fate specification, geotropism, and phosphate ion detection. The gene product localizes to the nucleus, nuclear membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, and cytoplasm. Related genes in other species are linked to plant height, leaf size, and petiole length.
