GLYMA_18G273600V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_18G273600v4 on soybean chromosome 18 encodes a MADS-box transcription factor, containing MADS-box and K-box domains, with RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding and protein dimerization activities. This gene is associated with flower formation, floral meristem determinacy, meristem initiation and maintenance, vernalization response and its downregulation, cold acclimation, seed maturation, stomatal opening, cellular respiration, ATP anabolism, gibberellin catabolism, and syngamy. It localizes to the nucleus. The gene has been connected to numerous agronomic traits including days to maturity, plant height, stem elongation, stem node number, stem diameter, branch angle, petiole length, leaf size, seed weight, seed size, seed dormancy, protein content, water use efficiency, and grain weight. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to vernalization response and flowering time regulation.
