GLYMA_12G064000V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_12G064000v4 on soybean chromosome 12 encodes a member of the heat shock 70 family (Hsp70), a chaperone with ATP hydrolase activity that binds ATP and other heat shock proteins, and is annotated as a protein folding chaperone. This gene is associated with a wide range of processes including chloroplast elongation, seed growth, response to water and UV-A, protein processing and import, nutrient storage, and the ascorbate-glutathione cycle. It has been linked to several agronomically important traits such as chlorophyll a and b content, net photosynthetic rate, quantum yield, transpiration rate, plant height, stem elongation, drought tolerance, oxidative stress response, abscisic acid content, heterosis, and cytoplasmic male sterility. The encoded protein localises to the chloroplast membrane, ER lumen and chaperone complex, tonoplast, cytoplasm, and nucleus.
