Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Glyma.17G203000
• Gene Symbol: GmMOT1.1
• Gene Name: molybdate transporter 1
• Genome: Wm82.a4.v1
• Species: Glycine max

Functional Descriptions:

• Natural variation in soybean seed Mo concentration is driven by GmMOT1.1 and GmMOT1.2.
• These two genes contribute to soybean yield by promoting Mo-dependent IAA synthesis.
• Impaired alleles of GmMOT1.1 and GmMOT1.2 resulted in a remarkable decrease in Mo translocation from roots to shoots and a dramatic yield penalty under normal conditions.
• We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify GmMOT1.1 and GmMOT1.2 that drive the natural variation of soybean Mo concentration and confer agronomic traits by affecting auxin synthesis.
• Further studies showed that GmMOT1.1 and GmMOT1.2 improve soybean yield, especially when cultivated in acidic or slightly acidic soil.
• Natural variation in Mo concentration in soybean seeds is driven by polymorphisms affecting the expression and protein activity of GmMOT1.1 and GmMOT1.2.
