LHY — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_19G260900V4, designated GmLHY (also known as GmCCA1), encodes a protein with Myb, SANT, and homeodomain-like domains and is annotated with DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific, histone H3K9 acetyltransferase activity, protein kinase regulator activity, and phosphorelay response regulator activity. In soybean, GmLHY is associated with circadian regulation of gene expression, temperature compensation of the circadian clock, negative regulation of leaf senescence, positive regulation of photomorphogenesis, isoflavonoid anabolism, starch metabolism, and petal development. The gene has been linked to traits including photoperiod sensitivity, leaf area, vegetative vigor, root system morphology, brassinosteroid content, cadmium concentration, iron concentration, seed viability, and responses to UV light, temperature stress, and aphids. GmLHY localizes to the nucleus, cytosol, and nucleolus. Related genes in other species are linked to circadian rhythm, photoperiodic flowering, light signaling, and drought escape.
