PAP85 — Glycine max

Summary

GmPAP85 (GLYMA_10G246300V4) encodes a protein with cupin 1 and RmlC-like jellyroll domains and nutrient reservoir activity. This soybean gene on chromosome 10 is associated with seed development, embryogenesis, seed germination, and seed maturation. It is linked to protein storage in the protein storage vacuole and aleurone body, as well as responses to flooding and virus infection. The gene is associated with seed protein content, amino acid content, seed weight, seed coat color, and germination rate. Related genes in other species link this gene family to drought tolerance, seed dormancy, and carbohydrate content, though these associations are not yet established in soybean.
