GT-1 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_18G010000V4 (GmGT-1) on soybean chromosome 18 encodes a protein containing GT-1/4_C, Myb_DNA-bind_4, and SANT/Myb domains. The product has DNA-binding transcription factor activity, sequence-specific DNA binding, and identical protein binding, and localizes to the nucleus. GmGT-1 is associated with regulation of DNA-templated transcription, autophagy, lateral root and root development, leaf senescence, cellular response to hypoxia, and homeostasis. The gene has been connected to drought tolerance, salt response, high temperature stress response, chlorophyll content, leaf shattering, flowering time, light intensity response, and root morphology. Related genes in other species link the family to floral organ senescence and lignin content.
