NSP1 — Glycine max

Summary

GmNSP1 (GLYMA_16G008200V4) on soybean chromosome 16 encodes a GRAS family transcription factor with sequence-specific DNA binding activity. It is associated with nitrogen fixation, arbuscular mycorrhizae formation, and response to symbiotic fungi. The gene is linked to regulation of seed dormancy, downregulation of seed germination, and regulation of secondary shoot formation. Additional associations include cellular response to phosphate starvation, hormone anabolism, downregulation of gibberellic acid mediated signaling, nuclear transport, radial pattern formation, asymmetric cell division, and negative regulation of the mitotic cell cycle. Related genes in other species link the GRAS family to similar developmental and signaling processes. The encoded protein localizes to the nucleus.
