Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Glyma.08g227700
• Gene Symbol: GmWRI1b
• Gene Name: AP2/ERF domain-containing protein
• Genome: Wm82.a4.v1
• Species: Glycine max

Functional Descriptions:

• GmWRI1a is the functional counterpart of WRI1, whereas GmWRI1b exhibited reduced function in modulating seed oil biosynthesis.
• GmWRI1a/GmWRI1b and GmLEC1a/GmLEC1b are considered to be two homoeologous pairs formed by the ~13-mya WGD event (Figure S2), which are likely to be the orthologs of the Arabidopsis WRI1 and LEC1.
• GmWRI1a/GmWRI1b, GmLEC1a/GmLEC1b, and GmABI3a/GmABI3b homoeologous pairs showed very similar evolutionary rates as reflected by non-synonymous substitution rates (Ks), synonymous substitution rates (Ka), and their ratios (ω), suggesting that the two members of each of the three duplicated gene pairs have experienced similar intensities of purifying selection.
• Expression level of GmWRI1a is associated with seed oil content in soybeans, whereas that of GmWRI1b is not.
• Overexpression of GmWRI1b in soybean stably improves plant architecture and associated yield parameters, and increases total seed oil production under field conditions.
