GLYMA_17G084300V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_17G084300v4 on soybean chromosome 17 encodes a protein containing a rhodanese-like domain and a CAS_plant domain, and is annotated with molecular function but not a specific enzyme class. The gene is associated with diverse biological processes including vitamin E metabolism, isoprenoid and chlorophyll anabolism, nitrogen fixation, nodulation, defense response, and regulation of stomatal closure. It is linked to the mevalonate and methylerythritol phosphate pathways, non-homologous end joining, and homology-directed repair. Localization evidence connects the product to the chloroplast thylakoid membrane, plastid, and mitochondria. The gene has been associated with traits such as grain and seed size, oleic acid content, plant height, and root length, as well as phenotypes including stomatal closure, photosynthetic efficiency, calcium signaling, and pathogen resistance. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to drought tolerance, water use efficiency, chloroplast development, and nonhost resistance.
