GLYMA_15G221600V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_15G221600v4 encodes a protein with an AP2/ERF DNA-binding domain, classified as a DNA-binding transcription factor that binds cis-regulatory regions. In soybean, this gene is associated with seed development and maturation, including regulation of seed abscission, floral organ abscission, and embryogenesis. It is linked to seed traits such as seed weight, seed size, and seed protein content, as well as seed composition traits including starch content, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and palmitic acid content. The gene is also associated with lipid metabolism, including triglyceride and fatty acid anabolism, galactolipid anabolism, and lipogenesis, along with starch anabolism and breakdown. Additional associations include negative regulation of cytokinin-mediated signalling, adventitious root development, cell growth, and nitric oxide storage. The encoded protein localises to the nucleus, cytoplasm, and transcription regulator complex. Studies of related genes in other species link this gene family to similar developmental and metabolic processes.
