Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Glyma.10G186500
• Gene Symbol: GmPT7
• Gene Name: phosphate transporter 7
• Genome: Wm82.a4.v1
• Species: Glycine max

Functional Descriptions:

• A nodule-localized phosphate transporter GmPT7 plays an important role in enhancing symbiotic N2 fixation and yield in soybean.
• Overexpression of GmPT7 promoted nodulation, and increased plant biomass, shoot nitrogen and phosphorus content, resulting in improved soybean yield by up to 36%.
• GmPT7 is a transporter responsible for direct Pi entry to nodules and further to fixation zones, which is required for enhancing symbiotic N2 fixation and grain yield of soybean.
• Knockdown of GmPT7 significantly reduced soybean nodulation and growth.
• Double suppression of GmPT5 and GmPT7 led to nearly complete elimination of nodulation and over 50% reduction in plant biomass, shoot nitrogen and phosphorus content, indicating that both GmPT7 and GmPT5 contribute to Pi transport for N2 fixation.
