GLYMA_10G141400V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GmHY8 (GLYMA_10G141400V4) on soybean chromosome 10 encodes a protein with phytochrome A-E and related domains, and is annotated with tetrapyrrole binding and photoreceptor activity. It is associated with far-red light sensitivity, photoperiod sensitivity, and light quality response, as well as grain yield, days to maturity, vegetative vigor, leaf area, leaf angle, and branch angle. The gene is linked to phytochrome-mediated photoresponses, phytochrome A nuclear accumulation and import, heat shock tolerance, and decreased oxidative stress response. It has been associated with protein myristoylation, phytochrome chromophore anabolism, regulation of chromatin organization, and nutrient storage. Localization associations include the nuclear envelope, thylakoid, and chloroplast nucleoid. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to far-red light signaling, flowering, thermotolerance, and pathogen defense.
