ERD5 — Glycine max

Summary

GmERD5 (GLYMA_19G043000V4) on soybean chromosome 19 encodes a proline oxidase with a Proline_DH_dom domain, a FAD-linked oxidoreductase that localises to mitochondria. The gene is associated with proline breakdown, the ascorbate-glutathione cycle, fermentation, the TCA cycle, and responses to water, glycine, and dehydration. It has been linked to leaf chlorophyll content, leaf water potential, proline content, photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, seed weight, seed size, root length, biomass yield, and salt tolerance. Associations also include thiazole and tyrosine anabolism, threonine metabolism, zinc import, dehiscence, abscission, stomatal opening, and cellular homeostasis. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to drought tolerance, osmotic stress response, oxidative stress tolerance, freezing tolerance, disease resistance, and seed dormancy.
