Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Glyma.02g274600
• Gene Symbol: GmEIL4
• Gene Name: ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE 3-like 1
• Genome: Wm82.a4.v1
• Species: Glycine max

Functional Descriptions:

• GmEIL4 enhances soybean (Glycine max) phosphorus efficiency by improving root system development.
• GmEIL4 (encoding an ethylene-insensitive 3-like 1 protein), was cloned at qP2, which was identified by linkage analysis and genome-wide association study across four environments.
• Overexpressing GmEIL4 significantly improved the P uptake efficiency by increasing the number, length and surface area of lateral roots of hairy roots in transgenic soybeans, while interfering with GmEIL4 resulted in poor root phenotypic characteristics compared with the control plants under low P conditions.
• GmEIL4 regulates P efficiency through root morphology.
• We conclude that the expression of GmEIL4 was induced by low-P stress and that overexpressing GmEIL4 improved P accumulation by regulating root elongation and architecture.
