BIP — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_17G047100V4, also known as GmBIP, encodes a protein with DNA-binding and transcription factor activity, containing ARF, AUX/IAA, and B3 DNA-binding domains, and is localized to the nucleus, cytoplasm, and plasma membrane. This soybean gene on chromosome 17 is associated with auxin-mediated signaling, root and shoot development, leaf senescence, and responses to heat stress and herbicides. It is linked to traits including root dry weight, leaf water potential, adventitious root number, phototropism, phyllotaxy, and male sterility. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to lateral root development, vascular tissue specification, flowering time, and stress responses, and to virus resistance.
