RLK — Glycine max

Summary

GmRLK (GLYMA_17G167600V4) on soybean chromosome 17 encodes a protein with leucine-rich repeat and protein kinase domains, exhibiting histone H2AS1 kinase activity, receptor serine/threonine kinase binding, transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase activity, kinase activity, protein serine kinase activity, protein kinase activity, protein serine/threonine kinase activity, protein homodimerization activity, ATP binding, and protein binding. This gene is associated with chlorophyll breakdown and anabolism, post-embryonic plant organ development, nitrogen fixation, hypersensitivity, regulation of leaf senescence, upregulation of innate immune response, stomatal complex morphogenesis, regulation of cell growth, regulation of stomatal complex development, somatic embryogenesis, regulation of defence response to fungi, regulation of growth, upregulation of response to thirst, leaf senescence, activation of salinity response, and plant ovule development. It is linked to grain weight, seed weight, seed size, chlorophyll content, proline content, and salt tolerance. The protein localizes to the membrane, plasma membrane, and extracellular region. Related genes in other species are linked to low nitrogen stress tolerance, immunity, and signal transduction.
