Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • MtEFD and MtEFD2: Two transcription factors with distinct neofunctionalization in symbiotic nodule development.
  • MtEFD encodes an APETALA2/ETHYLENE RESPONSIVE FACTOR (ERF) transcription factor, the mutation of which leads to both hypernodulation and severe defects in nodule development.
  • MtEFD positively controls a negative regulator of cytokinin signaling, the RESPONSE REGULATOR 4 (MtRR4) gene.
  • Conclude that nitrogen-fixing symbiosis recruited two proteins originally expressed in roots, MtEFD and MtEFD2, with distinct functions and neofunctionalization processes for each of them.
