GRF5 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_08G363800V4 (GmGRF5) encodes a 14-3-3 domain-containing protein on soybean chromosome 8. The gene product is associated with sucrose alpha-glucosidase and beta-fructofuranosidase activities, protein complex binding, and signaling receptor binding. It has been linked to endosperm cellularization and development, sucrose metabolism and breakdown, isoflavonoid and phenylpropanoid anabolism, floral organ abscission, pollen maturation, and regeneration. Associations include traits such as hexose content, stem node number, leaf shattering, shoot growth angle, plant male sterility, nitrate uptake, brassinosteroid sensitivity, cell cycle and elongation traits, root development and thickness, disease tolerance, and seed growth and development. Localization evidence links the product to nuclear microtubules, the tubulin complex, nuclear envelope, vacuole, apoplast, and plant-type cell wall. Related genes in other species connect the family to organ size, carbon partitioning, antiviral resistance, and helical growth.
