ERD5 — Glycine max

Summary

GmERD5 (GLYMA_19G042900V4) encodes a proline dehydrogenase with proline oxidase activity, a FAD-linked oxidoreductase localized to mitochondria. The gene is associated with proline breakdown, threonine metabolism, tyrosine anabolism, the TCA cycle, and cellular responses to hypoxia, oxidative stress, salt, and water deficit. It has been connected to traits including proline content, leaf water potential, photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, seed weight and size, chlorophyll content, leaf chlorosis, and amino acid content. Phenotypic associations include drought tolerance, dehydration response, root elongation at low water potential, growth under water deficit, and the hypersensitive response. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to salt tolerance, freezing tolerance, oxidative stress resistance, disease resistance, and root growth under osmotic stress.
