GLYMA_14G176900V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GmGRF1 (GLYMA_14G176900V4) on soybean chromosome 14 encodes a 14-3-3 domain-containing protein, a member of the 14-3-3 family of regulatory proteins. The gene product is associated with ion transporter activity and a wide array of other molecular functions. GmGRF1 has been linked to numerous traits including ferulic acid and zinc content, starch grain size, fruit yield, seed coat hardness, leaf chlorophyll content, plant dry weight, and responses to alkali soil and nematode damage. It is also associated with processes such as carbon fixation, photosynthetic capacity, chloroplast redox regulation, and defense priming. Studies of related genes in other species link the 14-3-3 family to fungal disease resistance, virus response, zinc and potassium transport, and cell wall modification.
