EBP — Glycine max

Summary

GmEBP (GLYMA_09G041500V4) on soybean chromosome 9 encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor with an AP2/ERF domain, annotated with transcription coactivator activity, fatty-acyl-CoA binding, and microtubule binding. It localises to the nucleus, cytosol, plasma membrane and endoplasmic reticulum. The gene is associated with responses to lead ion, superoxide, nitrate starvation, as well as positive regulation of leaf senescence, lateral root morphogenesis, autophagy, fermentation, nitric oxide anabolism, lipid transport and lipogenesis. Associations with agronomic traits include yield, seed set percent, submergence tolerance, stem length, root number, lateral root number, root hair length, vegetative growth time, plant male sterility, pollen fertility, flower development, petal morphology, anther and stamen morphology, inflorescence morphology, trichome morphology, shoot apical meristem development, whole plant size, and sensitivities to gibberellic acid, jasmonic acid, cytokinin, UV-B light and nitrate.
