GLYMA_19G082300V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_19G082300v4 on soybean chromosome 19 encodes a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) with NADP-binding domains. This gene is associated with the oxidative branch of the pentose pathway, glucose and sucrose metabolism, and the anabolism of ureides, glutathione, and ATP. It is also linked to nitrogen fixation, phytoalexin biosynthesis, sulfur metabolism, detoxification, virus-induced PTGS, and sensory perception. Localization evidence links the product to both the chloroplast stroma and cytosol. The gene is associated with several agronomically relevant traits, including seed weight, protein and amino acid content, germination rate, root length, and drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species assign the enzyme class EC 1.1.1.49 to this family.
