Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Glyma.11G238800
• Gene Symbol: GmMIPS1
• Gene Name: myo-inositol-3-phosphate synthase1
• Genome: Wm82.a4.v1
• Species: Glycine max

Functional Descriptions:

• RNAi-mediated silencing of the myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase gene (GmMIPS1) in transgenic soybean inhibited seed development and reduced phytate content.
• Merrill lines were produced using interfering RNA (RNAi) construct in order to silence the myo-inositol-1-phosphate (GmMIPS1) gene. We have observed an absence of seed development in lines in which the presence of GmMIPS1 transcripts was not detected.
• In addition, a drastic reduction of phytate (InsP6) content was achieved in transgenic lines (up to 94.5%). Our results demonstrated an important correlation between GmMIPS1 gene expression and seed development.
• RNAi-mediated silencing of the myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase gene (GmMIPS1) in transgenic soybean inhibited seed development and reduced phytate content.
• Experiments have been carried out to evaluate utilization of the GmMIPS1 silencing strategy to inhibit seed development in fructiferous plants with the potential to develop seedless fruits.
