GLYMA_19G108100V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_19G108100V4 (GmFT) encodes a phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein (PEBP) family member. It is associated with mRNA regulatory element binding translation repressor activity, protein N-GlcNAc transferase activity, peptide-O-fucosyltransferase activity, phosphatidylethanolamine binding, lipid binding, protein phosphorylated amino acid binding, transglycosidase activity, sequence-specific DNA binding, transcription cis-regulatory region binding, protein homodimerization activity, DNA binding transcription factor activity, and ATP binding. In soybean, this gene is associated with flower formation, floral whorl development, response to short-day conditions, upregulation of vernalization response, maintenance of floral meristem identity, meristem determinacy, chlorophyll breakdown, water transport, cellular responses to nitrogen and potassium starvation, temperature compensation of the circadian clock, and RNA-dependent gene silencing. It is linked to numerous agronomic traits including photoperiod sensitivity, leaflet area and shape, stem node number, axillary bud dormancy, net photosynthetic rate, nitrogen content, starch content, fruit set, vegetative vigor, and viral disease response. The gene product localizes to the plasmodesmatal ER, plant-type cell wall, vacuole, ER, plasmodesma, Golgi, plastid, mitochondria, and cytosol. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to flowering time, photoperiodic flowering response, grain
