PEP — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_08G279700V4 (GmPEP, GmPAS2) encodes a protein with very-long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase activity. It is associated with fatty acid elongation, sphingolipid metabolism, and localises to the ER membrane and fatty acid elongase complex. The gene is linked to diverse traits including seed protein content, photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, root morphology, drought tolerance, salt tolerance, and high temperature stress response. It has been connected to plant male sterility, trichome morphology, cell cycle and elongation traits, and shoot apical meristem development. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to cuticular wax formation, pollen fertility, root hair elongation, and cell cycle control.
