Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Glyma.03G036500
• Gene Symbol: GmWNK1
• Gene Name: WNK kinase homolog1
• Genome: Wm82.a4.v1
• Species: Glycine max

Functional Descriptions:

• The soybean root-specific protein kinase GmWNK1 regulates stress-responsive ABA signaling on the root system architecture.
• GmWNK1 expression was detected in the root, specifically in root cells associated with lateral root formation, and was down-regulated by abscisic acid (ABA), as well as by mannitol, sucrose, polyethylene glycol and NaCl.
• Furthermore, 35S-GmWNK1 transgenic soybean plants had reduced lateral root number and length compared with wild-type, suggesting a role of GmWNK1 in the regulation of root system architecture.
• We propose that GmWNK1 functions to fine-tune ABA-dependent ABA homeostasis, thereby mediating the regulation of the root system architecture by ABA and osmotic signals.
