ELG (GLYMA_08G180800V4) — Glycine max

Summary

GmELG (GLYMA_08G180800V4) on soybean chromosome 8 encodes a protein with leucine-rich repeat domains and a serine/threonine kinase catalytic domain, annotated with guanylyl cyclase activity, GTPase inhibitor activity, and channel regulator activity. The gene is associated with immune response-regulating signaling pathways, anti-apoptosis, reactive oxygen species-mediated programmed cell death, and defense responses. It is linked to numerous agronomically important traits including grain yield, bacterial blight disease resistance, nematode damage response, leaf rolling response, hydrogen peroxide content, brassinosteroid content, shoot growth angle, plant male sterility, and temperature stress response. Localization evidence links the product to early and late endosome membranes, the external side of the plasma membrane, and heterotrimeric G-protein complexes. Studies of related genes in other species associate the family with cell death control, bacterial disease resistance, drought tolerance, and organ size regulation.
