MIPS1 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_11G238800V4, designated GmMIPS1, encodes a myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase, an enzyme with inositol-3-phosphate synthase activity. The gene is associated with a wide range of biological processes, including inositol, phytate, phospholipid, and oligosaccharide biosynthesis, as well as ethene and glucan metabolism, regulation of hormone levels, and seed growth. It has been linked to traits such as net photosynthetic rate, sucrose and protein content, germination rate, and pollen fertility restoration. Phenotypic associations include embryo development, myo-inositol homeostasis, programmed cell death, oxidative stress tolerance, pathogen response, and auxin transport. The encoded protein is localized to the cytosol, nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi complex, and plant-type vacuole. Studies of related genes in other species link the MIPS family to salt tolerance, organ size, and female germline development.
