PDH — Glycine max

Summary

GmPDH (GLYMA_18G023100V4) on soybean chromosome 18 encodes a protein with PDH_N and Prephen_DH domains and a NAD(P)-binding domain. This gene is associated with tyrosine anabolism, the shikimate pathway, and secondary metabolism, as well as thiazole anabolism, proline metabolism, and phytoalexin biosynthesis. It has been linked to lipid localization, lipid storage, triglyceride anabolism, fatty acid anabolism, and sterol anabolism, alongside abscisic acid breakdown, NO storage, and reproductive processes including dehiscence and abscission. Trait associations include seed shattering, seed weight, seed size, days to maturity, plant height, leaf chlorophyll content, lignin content, and protein content. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to prephenate/arogenate dehydrogenase domain-containing proteins.
