NR — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_13G084000V4, also known as GmNR or GmNIA2-1, encodes a protein with nitrate reductase (NADPH) activity, cytokinin riboside 5'-monophosphate phosphoribohydrolase activity, cytochrome-b5 reductase activity, sulfite oxidase activity, and binds FAD, molybdenum, and heme. This soybean gene on chromosome 13 is associated with nitrate assimilation and its regulation, nitric oxide biosynthesis, cellular responses to nitrogen and potassium starvation, cytokinin anabolism, sulfur metabolism, and stomatal complex patterning. It is linked to numerous traits including nitrate sensitivity and transport, nitrogen use efficiency, seed size, oleic acid content, adventitious root number, leaf length, whole plant size, shoot branching, flowering time, freezing tolerance, and responses to aluminum, copper, UV-B, herbicides, osmotic stress, and viral and fungal diseases. Related genes in other species are linked to lateral root development, stomatal function, pathogen resistance, and biomass accumulation.
