IMK3 — Glycine max

Summary

GmIMK3 (GLYMA_18G023500V4) on soybean chromosome 18 encodes a protein with leucine-rich repeat and serine/threonine kinase domains, annotated with transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase activity, histone H2AS1 kinase activity, steroid binding, SNARE binding, signaling receptor activity, and DNA-binding transcription factor activity. The gene is associated with floral whorl and meristem development, inflorescence meristem identity, flowering time, flower color, seed weight and size, leaf chlorophyll content, leaf morphology, shoot meristem development, seed coat color, and palmitic acid content. It is also linked to apoptotic process, glutamate homeostasis, inositol metabolism, polyamine anabolism, salicylic acid anabolism, heme anabolism, glyoxylate cycle, homologous recombination, and membrane fusion. The encoded protein localizes to the plasma membrane, endosome, nucleus, and cytoplasm. Related genes in other species are linked to flowering time and inflorescence architecture.
