GLYMA_19G182300V4 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_19G182300v4 on soybean chromosome 19 encodes a phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, an enzyme with phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity that belongs to the aromatic lyase and fumarase/histidase N domain families. The gene is associated with phenylpropanoid and isoflavonoid biosynthesis, including the production of anthocyanins, phytoalexins, cinnamic acid, salicylic acid, and melatonin, as well as L-phenylalanine breakdown and systemic acquired resistance. It is linked to nodulation, siderophore transport, detoxification, and NO storage. Localisation evidence places the product in the cytoplasm. Trait associations include flavonoid and lignin content, seed coat colour, root length, and salt tolerance. Related genes in other species further link the family to phenylpropanoid metabolism and the enzyme classification EC 4.3.1.24.
