Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Glyma.18g244300
• Gene Symbol: GmACP
• Gene Name: acyl carrier protein
• Genome: Wm82.a4.v1
• Species: Glycine max

Functional Descriptions:

• A soybean acyl carrier protein, GmACP, is important for root nodule symbiosis.
• Quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis demonstrated that GmACP was expressed in all soybean tissues but showed higher transcript accumulation in nodule tissue.
• Fluorescent protein-labeled GmACP was localized to plastids in planta, the site of de novo fatty acid biosynthesis in plants.
• Analysis of the fatty acid content of root tissue silenced for GmACP expression, as determined by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, showed an approximately 22% reduction, specifically in palmitic and stearic acid.
• GmACP expression is decreased in GmNORK knockdown transgenic soybean roots.
