GLYMA_13G197000V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_13G197000v4 on soybean chromosome 13 encodes a beta-galactosidase, an enzyme with beta-galactosidase activity and sugar binding capacity. This gene is associated with lactose breakdown, leaf abscission, pigmentation, glutathione metabolism, nitrogen fixation, auxin anabolism, phenylpropanoid anabolism, blue light response, and other processes including DNA amplification, fermentation, digestion, and organogenesis. It is linked to traits such as total soluble sugar content, sucrose content, floral organ number, transpiration rate, and leaf senescence. The product localizes to the beta-galactosidase complex and cytosol. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to flower abortion, protein content, seed weight, and seed size.
