GLYMA_14G091900V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GmELF3 (GLYMA_14G091900V4) on soybean chromosome 14 encodes an ELF3-like protein and has been annotated with receptor tyrosine kinase binding, oxidoreductase, histone kinase, auxin receptor, and cysteine-type peptidase activities. The gene is associated with the upregulation of short-day photoperiodism and flowering, photoentrainment of the circadian clock, positive regulation of thermomorphogenesis, chloroplast-nucleus signaling, cellular response to drought, gibberellin-mediated signaling, meristem determinacy, and auxin biosynthetic process regulation. It has been linked to grain yield, leaf area, vegetative vigor, drought and water stress responses, far-red and blue light sensitivity, heterosis, and spot blotch resistance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to circadian rhythm, floral transition, drought and salt stress resistance, seed yield, and shade avoidance.
