GLYMA_18G298900V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_18G298900v4 on soybean chromosome 18 encodes a phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein (PEBP), a member of the PEBP eukaryotic family. This gene is associated with photoperiodism and flowering time regulation, including response to short-day conditions, regulation of the transition from vegetative to reproductive phase, and flower development. It is also linked to vernalization response and inflorescence development. The encoded protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Additionally, this gene has been connected to heterosis. Studies of related PEBP family members in other species link the family to flowering time control.
