ERD5 — Glycine max

Summary

GmERD5 (GLYMA_08G255900V4) on soybean chromosome 8 encodes a proline oxidase with a Proline_dehydrogenase domain and FAD-linked oxidoreductase-like domain, localised to mitochondria. The gene is associated with proline breakdown, zinc import, tyrosine anabolism, and responses to water, oxidative stress, hypoxia, bacteria, and thirst. It has been linked to stomatal opening, abscission, dehiscence, seed germination, and cellular homeostasis. Traits connected to GmERD5 include leaf water potential, proline content, photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, chlorophyll content, seed weight and size, and amino acid content. Phenotypes linked to this gene include proline accumulation, proline metabolism, growth under water deficit, root elongation at low water potential, NADP/NADPH ratio, dehydration response, drought tolerance, and abiotic stress response. Studies of related genes in other species associate the family with oxidative stress tolerance, salt tolerance, and response to dehydration.
