KAPP — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_11G004000V4, designated GmKAPP (also known as GmRAG1), encodes a protein with a forkhead-associated (FHA) domain and a PP2C-type phosphatase domain, conferring protein serine/threonine phosphatase activity and [pyruvate kinase]-phosphatase activity. This soybean gene on chromosome 11 is associated with diverse biological processes including phloem development, anther wall tapetum cell differentiation, pollen exine formation, isoflavonoid anabolism, and response to desiccation, aluminum, and bacteria. It is linked to traits such as bacterial blight disease resistance, aphid response, seed longevity, root width, leaf rolling, plant male sterility, and brassinosteroid content. Localization evidence connects the product to the nuclear envelope, endosome, ER membrane, and plant-type cell wall. Related genes in other species are linked to meristem maintenance, stem cell specification, flagellin perception, and antiviral resistance.
