GLYMA_13G347700V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_13G347700v4 on soybean chromosome 13 encodes a lipoxygenase enzyme, possessing linolenate 9R-lipoxygenase, linoleate 9S-lipoxygenase and linoleate 13S-lipoxygenase activities, along with iron binding and oxidoreductase functions. The protein contains Lipoxygenase and PLAT/LH2 domains and localises to the cytoplasm. This gene is associated with the lipoxygenase pathway and arachidonic acid metabolism, as well as numerous agronomically important traits including seed weight, seed protein content, seed dormancy, seed viability, seed size, seed coat color, linoleic and linolenic acid content, chlorophyll content, anthocyanin content, biomass yield, stem dry weight, leaf size, leaf weight, specific leaf weight, root length, days to maturity, germination rate, drought sensitivity, salt response, carbohydrate content, sugar content, total soluble sugar content, soluble protein content, amino acid content, flavonoid content, protein content, ash content, quantum yield, and grassy flavor. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to linoleate 13S-lipoxygenase and linoleate 9S-lipoxygenase activities.
