PAL — Glycine max

Summary

GmPAL (GLYMA_10G209800V4) on soybean chromosome 10 encodes a phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, an enzyme with ammonia-lyase activity. This gene is associated with lignin, anthocyanin, isoflavonoid, and salicylic acid biosynthesis, as well as L-phenylalanine breakdown, cinnamic acid anabolism, and phytoalexin biosynthesis. It is linked to hydrogen peroxide-mediated signaling, detoxification, and the ascorbate-glutathione cycle. Traits associated with GmPAL include lignin content, abscisic acid content, hydrogen peroxide content, root length, and plant height. The gene is localized to the cytoplasm and macromolecular complexes. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to drought tolerance, seed dormancy, chlorophyll content, and leaf relative water content.
