PGM — Glycine max

Summary

GmPGM (GLYMA_20G153600V4) encodes a phosphoglucomutase, an enzyme with phosphoglucomutase activity that binds magnesium and belongs to the alpha-D-phosphohexomutase superfamily. In soybean, this gene is associated with starch and sucrose anabolism, isoflavonoid and lignin anabolism, gibberellin metabolism, nitrogen fixation, glucose metabolism, lipolysis, and protein synthesis. It is linked to cell cycle processes including mitosis, cytokinesis, prophase, anaphase, interphase, and spindle breakdown, as well as gravity detection, autotrophy, and secretion. The encoded protein localizes to the chloroplast envelope, stroma, stromule, apoplast, and cytosol. Associations with agronomically relevant traits include plant height, stem elongation, anthocyanin content, salt tolerance, seed oil content, photosynthetic capacity, starch metabolism, gravitropic and hydrotropic responses, leaf growth pattern, hexose and raffinose accumulation, and cold response.
