Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Glyma.02G218700
• Gene Symbol: GmGPDHp1
• Gene Name: Glycerol-3-phosphate Dehydrogenase 1
• Genome: Wm82.a4.v1
• Species: Glycine max

Functional Descriptions:

• These results reveal a key role for GmGPDHp1-mediated G3P metabolism in enhancing TAG synthesis and demonstrate a strategy to modify the FA compositions of soybean oils for improved nutrition and biofuel.
• A plastid-localized glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH), encoded by GmGPDHp1 gene, catalyzes the formation of glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P), an obligate substrate required for TAG biosynthesis.
• Overexpression of GmGPDHp1 increases soybean seed oil content with high levels of unsaturated fatty acids (FAs), especially oleic acid (C18:1), without detectably affecting growth or seed protein content or seed weight.
• Overexpression of GmGPDHp1 increases TAG content and the degree of FA unsaturation.
• Overexpression of GmGPDHp1 enhances de novo DAG and PC-derived DAG.
