GPX6 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_08G013800V4 (GmGPX6) encodes a phospholipid-hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase with glutathione peroxidase and peroxidase activities, containing a thioredoxin domain and thioredoxin-like superfamily domain. The gene is associated with cellular oxidant detoxification, hydrogen peroxide metabolic process, cellular response to oxidative stress, and the ascorbate-glutathione cycle. It is linked to apoptotic process, root system development, and protein oxidation. GmGPX6 is associated with numerous agronomic traits including drought tolerance, seed weight, seed size, seed maturation, photosynthetic rate, water use efficiency, root yield, root length, shoot fresh weight, leaf relative water content, and chlorophyll a content. It is also linked to selenium content, flavonoid content, carotenoid content, proline content, and glucose content. The gene is associated with cytoplasmic male sterility, heterosis, and salt tolerance. Its product localises to chloroplast stroma, mitochondria, cytosol, and plasmalemma.
