GLYMA_07G048500V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GmLHY (GLYMA_07G048500V4) on soybean chromosome 7 encodes a Myb-domain transcription factor with DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II binding, and histone H3K9 acetyltransferase activity. It is associated with circadian regulation of gene expression, including downregulation of the circadian rhythm and temperature compensation of the circadian clock. The gene is linked to photoperiod sensitivity, light quality responses, far-red and blue light sensitivity, and positive regulation of photomorphogenesis. Associations also include isoflavonoid and anthocyanin metabolism, starch metabolism, negative regulation of leaf senescence, and traits such as leaf area, vegetative vigor, seed coat color, and responses to UV-C, gamma radiation, temperature stress, and aphids. Related genes in other species link the family to circadian rhythms, photoperiod-dependent flowering, and light-mediated development.
