MMP — Glycine max

Summary

GmMMP (GLYMA_18G131300V4) encodes a matrix metallopeptidase (MMP) belonging to the M10A_MMP family, with metalloendopeptidase activity and zinc binding capability. The gene is associated with extracellular matrix organization, tissue remodeling, cell migration, cell adhesion, wound healing, and collagen breakdown. It has been linked to developmental vegetative growth, response to chemical stimuli, and light absorption. Localization evidence places the product in the extracellular matrix, apoplast, and plasma membrane. GmMMP is associated with germination rate, chlorophyll content, root growth and development, drought stress tolerance, auxin transport, fungal disease resistance, and leaf senescence. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to plant growth, resistance to necrotrophic and biotrophic fungal pathogens, localized immunity, senescence, and flowering time.
