PGM — Glycine max

Summary

GmPGM (GLYMA_10G241000V4) encodes a phosphoglucomutase, an enzyme with phosphoglucomutase activity that binds magnesium and belongs to the alpha-D-phosphohexomutase superfamily. In soybean, this gene is associated with starch and sucrose anabolism, glucose metabolism, isoflavonoid and lignin anabolism, gibberellin metabolism, nitrogen fixation, and cell cycle processes including mitosis, cytokinesis, and spindle breakdown. It is linked to detection of gravity, autotrophy, and secretion, and localizes to the chloroplast envelope, stroma, stromule, apoplast, and cytosol. Associations with plant height, stem elongation, anthocyanin content, salt tolerance, photosynthetic capacity, seed oil content, gravitropic and hydrotropic responses, leaf growth pattern, and cold response have been noted. Related genes in other species are linked to starch synthesis and deficiency.
