Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Glyma.15g014800
• Gene Symbol: GmbZIP5
• Gene Name:
• Genome: Wm82.a4.v1
• Species: Glycine max

Functional Descriptions:

• A combinatorial action of GmMYB176 and GmbZIP5 controls isoflavonoid biosynthesis in soybean.
• RNAi silencing of GmbZIP5 reduced the isoflavonoid level in soybean hairy roots.
• Co-overexpression of GmMYB176 and GmbZIP5 enhanced the level of multiple isoflavonoid phytoallexins including glyceollin, isowighteone and a unique O-methylhydroxy isoflavone in soybean hairy roots.
• Overexpression of the translational fusion of GmMYB176-GmbZIP4 and GmMYB176-GmbZIP5 in soybean hairy roots identified GmbZIP5, a basic leucine zipper family protein, as an interacting partner of GmMYB176 with a role in isoflavonoid biosynthesis.
• Our results demonstrate that both GmMYB176 and GmbZIP5 are co-expressed in soybean roots and their combined action is critical to activate isoflavonoid biosynthesis in soybean roots.
