Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: LjERF1
  • Gene Name: transcription factor AP2-EREBP
  • Genome:
  • Species: Lotus japonicus

Functional Descriptions:

  • A Positive Regulatory Role for LjERF1 in the Nodulation Process Is Revealed by Systematic Analysis of Nodule-Associated Transcription Factors of Lotus japonicus.
  • We identified a gene, LjERF1, that is most similar to Arabidopsis ERF1, which is up-regulated by ethylene and jasmonic acid and activates downstream defense genes.
  • LjERF1 showed the same pattern of up-regulation in roots as Arabidopsis ERF1. The nodulation phenotype of roots that overexpressed LjERF1 or inhibited LjERF1 expression using an RNA interference construct indicated that this gene functions as a positive regulator of nodulation.
  • We propose that LjERF1 functions as a key regulator of successful infection of L. japonicus by Mesorhizobium loti.
