CYP93C3 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_13G173401V4 (symbol CYP93C3, also known as GmCYP93C3) on soybean chromosome 13 encodes a cytochrome P450 with 2-hydroxyisoflavanone synthase, flavanone 2-hydroxylase, naringenin 2-hydroxylase, and 3,9-dihydroxypterocarpan 6a-hydroxylase activities. The gene is associated with isoflavonoid, flavone, luteolin, lignan, and phytoalexin biosynthesis, as well as ethene and salicylic acid metabolism, hormone regulation, demethylation, and secondary metabolism. It is linked to seed coat color, protein content, germination rate, and drought tolerance. The encoded protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and intracellular membrane-bounded organelles. Studies of related genes in other species connect the CYP93C family to flavonoid content, plant height, harvest index, and salt tolerance.
