Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Glyma.07g223000
• Gene Symbol: GmVamp721a
• Gene Name: vesicle-associated membrane protein 721a
• Genome: Wm82.a4.v1
• Species: Glycine max

Functional Descriptions:

• VAMP721a and VAMP721d are important for pectin dynamics and release of bacteria in soybean nodules.
• GmVAMP721d and its closest paralogue GmVamp721a are expressed in roots and nodules, whereas the level of GmVAMP721d expression is four times higher in nodules relative to roots.
• The results therefore show that silencing of VAMP721d and VAMP721a blocks normal bacterial release and symbiosome formation in soybean nodules, demonstrating that the VAMP72d/a exocytotic pathway is operational and required for bacterial release in this symbiosis, as previously observed in M. truncatula.
• VAMP721a, was recently shown to be a target of regulator of symbiosome differentiation (RSD).
