BIP — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_15G181000V4, also known as GmBIP, encodes a protein with ARF, AUX/IAA, B3, and PB1-like domains. It is annotated with DNA binding, transcription cis-regulatory region binding, and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. In soybean, this gene is associated with positive regulation of auxin mediated signaling pathway, nitrate import, root hair cell differentiation, inflorescence meristem growth, and negative regulation of leaf senescence. It localizes to the nucleus, cytoplasm, and plasma membrane. The gene is linked to numerous traits including root dry weight, leaf water potential, relative growth rate, adventitious root number, phototropism response trait, phyllotaxy, plant male sterility, and gibberellin biosynthesis trait. It has also been connected to heat stress response, lateral root formation, root growth, and senescence. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to lateral root development, vascular tissue specification, and flowering time.
