LRR — Glycine max

Summary

GmLRR (GLYMA_13G204300V4) on soybean chromosome 13 encodes a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain-containing protein with protein serine/threonine kinase activity, ATP binding, and transmembrane receptor activity. It is associated with nucleotide binding and receptor serine/threonine kinase binding. The gene has been linked to diverse biological processes including response to UV-A and UV, chlorophyll breakdown and anabolism, nitrogen fixation, regulation of leaf senescence and meristem development, lateral root development, stomatal complex morphogenesis, chemotaxis, hormone metabolism, metabolic burst, virus-induced PTGS, and post-embryonic organ development. It localizes to the membrane, plasmalemma, and apoplast. Associations with agronomically important traits include pollen fertility, seed weight and size, chlorophyll content, root length, and drought tolerance, as well as DNA damage repair. Studies of related genes in other species link the LRR family to stomatal resistance, seed maturation, photochemical quenching, and days to flowering.
