Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Glyma.02g054200
• Gene Symbol: GmSAMT1
• Gene Name: salicylic acid methyl transferase 1
• Genome: Wm82.a4.v1
• Species: Glycine max

Functional Descriptions:

• A SAMT gene from soybean (GmSAMT1) plays a role in soybean defence against soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe, SCN).
• Overexpression of GmSAMT1 in SCN-susceptible backgrounds significantly reduced the development of SCN, indicating that overexpression of GmSAMT1 in the transgenic hairy root system could confer resistance to SCN.
• Overexpression of GmSAMT1 in transgenic hairy roots was also found to affect the expression of selected genes involved in salicylic acid biosynthesis and salicylic acid signal transduction.
• Transgenic soybean overexpressing GmSAMT1 exhibits resistance to multiple-HG types of soybean cyst nematode Heterodera glycines.
• We hypothesize that GmSAMT1 expression affects salicylic acid biosynthesis, which, in turn, attenuates SCN development, without negative consequences to soybean yield or other morphological traits.
• GmSAMT1 overexpression confers broad resistance to multiple SCN races, which would be potentially applicable to commercial production.
