FLS — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_13G082300V4 (GmFLS) encodes a protein with domains characteristic of 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases. It is annotated with oxidoreductase activity acting on paired donors with incorporation of molecular oxygen, leucocyanidin oxygenase activity, naringenin-chalcone synthase activity, flavanone 4-reductase activity, dihydroflavanol 4-reductase activity, flavonol synthase activity, flavanone 3-dioxygenase activity, vitamin C binding, metal binding, and protein binding. This soybean gene on chromosome 13 is associated with flavonol biosynthesis, flavonoid metabolism, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, pigmentation, seed coat development, and response to gravity. It has been linked to traits including flower and seed color, anthocyanin and phenolic compound content, grain weight, photosynthetic ability, UV light sensitivity, herbicide sensitivity, salt and low-temperature stress tolerance, root length and morphology, stomatal closure, and heterosis. The gene is also connected to cytoplasmic male sterility, pollen fertility restoration, and seed maturation. Related genes in other species link the family to root gravitropic response, cyst nematode resistance, circadian rhythm, male fertility, and herbivory response.
