CPS — Glycine max

Summary

GmCPS (GLYMA_19G157000V4) on soybean chromosome 19 encodes a terpene synthase with ent-copalyl diphosphate synthase, kolavenyl diphosphate synthase, and copal-8-ol diphosphate synthase activities, along with isomerase activity and magnesium binding. The gene is associated with gibberellin metabolism and signaling, ent-kaurene and diterpenoid biosynthesis, shade avoidance, defense response, and secondary metabolism. It has been linked to plant height, stem elongation, seed dormancy and germination, flowering time, trichome formation, apical hook formation, root colonization, floral organ size, and photooxidative stress resistance, as well as photosynthetic rate and rubisco content. Related genes in other species are linked to male fertility, dwarfism, and gibberellin-responsive growth and development.
