Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Glyma.01g165800-D
• Gene Symbol: Rj4
• Gene Name: Glycine soja thaumatin-like protein
• Genome:
• Species: Glycine soja

Functional Descriptions:

• Rj4, a Gene Controlling Nodulation Specificity in Soybeans, Encodes a Thaumatin-Like Protein But Not the One Previously Reported.
• Rj4 is a dominant gene in soybeans (Glycine max) that restricts nodulation by many strains of Bradyrhizobium elkanii. The soybean-B. elkanii symbiosis has a low nitrogen-fixation efficiency, but B. elkanii strains are highly competitive for nodulation| thus, cultivars harboring an Rj4 allele are considered favorable.
• Instead, we provide convincing evidence that Rj4 is Glyma.01g165800-D, a duplicated and unique version of Glyma.01g165800, that has evolved the ability to control symbiotic specificity.
• CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Gene Knockout Revealed That Glyma.01G165800-D But Not Glyma.01G165800 Is Required for Rj4-Mediated Nodulation Restriction.
