GLYI2 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_11G194300V4 (GmGLYI2) on soybean chromosome 11 encodes a protein with glyoxalase I domains and lactoylglutathione lyase activity, and is associated with metal binding and IgE binding. This gene is associated with the ascorbate-glutathione cycle, detoxification, and responses to oxidative stress, flooding, salinity, and osmotic stress. It is linked to seed germination, cell growth and division, chlorophyll fluorescence, and homeostasis. Localization evidence places the product in the cytosol and extracellular space. GmGLYI2 is associated with leaf relative water content, proline content, biomass yield, photochemical quenching, and salt tolerance. Related genes in other species link the family to salinity stress tolerance, methylglyoxal detoxification, and abiotic stress tolerance, as well as traits such as shoot fresh weight, chlorophyll content, and drought tolerance.
