GH3.1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_4G045903, also known as GH3.1, encodes a protein with IAA amido synthetase activity, peptide synthase activity, AMP binding, ja-amino synthetase activity, and ATP binding, belonging to the GH3 protein family. In barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) on chromosome 4, this gene is associated with cellular auxin homeostasis, auxin anabolism, flavonoid anabolism, regulation of flavonoid anabolism, regulation of defence response to bacteria, nodulation, pollen development, response to light stimulus, response to auxin, response to heat, and defence response, and localises to the cytoplasm. Associations with harvest index and amino acid content have also been recorded. Related genes in other species link the family to indole-3-acetic acid-amido synthetase activity and EC 6.3.2.52.
