AOS — Glycine max

Summary

GmAOS (GLYMA_17G246500V4) encodes a cytochrome P450 protein with allene oxide synthase, colneleate synthase, allene-oxide cyclase, hydro-lyase, monooxygenase, and oxidoreductase activities, and binds heme and iron. It is associated with jasmonic acid and oxylipin anabolism, the epoxygenase P450 pathway, fatty acid and polyamine anabolism, seed germination, response to wounding, response to jasmonic acid, induced systemic resistance, innate immunity, response to fungi, virus-induced PTGS, and cellular detoxification. The gene is linked to resistance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, salt tolerance, nectar secretion, somatic embryogenesis, male fertility, and defense against herbivory and necrotrophic fungi. It localizes to the chloroplast membrane, thylakoid, envelope, plastid, and mitochondria. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to jasmonic acid content, drought tolerance, stomatal regulation, and disease resistance.
