Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: GmPT7
  • Gene Name: phosphate transporter 7
  • Genome:
  • Species: Glycine max

Functional Descriptions:

  • A nodule-localized phosphate transporter GmPT7 plays an important role in enhancing symbiotic N2 fixation and yield in soybean.
  • Overexpression of GmPT7 promoted nodulation, and increased plant biomass, shoot nitrogen and phosphorus content, resulting in improved soybean yield by up to 36%.
  • GmPT7 is a transporter responsible for direct Pi entry to nodules and further to fixation zones, which is required for enhancing symbiotic N2 fixation and grain yield of soybean.
  • Knockdown of GmPT7 significantly reduced soybean nodulation and growth.
  • Double suppression of GmPT5 and GmPT7 led to nearly complete elimination of nodulation and over 50% reduction in plant biomass, shoot nitrogen and phosphorus content, indicating that both GmPT7 and GmPT5 contribute to Pi transport for N2 fixation.
