GLYMA_17G231600V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GmELF3 (GLYMA_17G231600V4) on soybean chromosome 17 encodes a protein of the ELF3-like family and is annotated with diverse molecular functions including receptor tyrosine kinase binding, phytochromobilin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase activity, histone kinase activity, auxin receptor activity, and phosphatidylethanolamine binding. The gene is associated with upregulation of short-day photoperiodism and flowering, photoentrainment of the circadian clock, positive regulation of thermomorphogenesis, cellular response to drought, gibberellin-mediated signaling, and meristem determinacy. It is linked to numerous agronomic traits including grain yield, drought stress response, leaf area, vegetative vigor, flower number, fruit number, stem node number, chlorophyll ratio, and glyphosate sensitivity. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to circadian rhythm, floral transition, drought and salt stress resistance, seed yield, and shade avoidance syndrome.
