Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation GmVTL1a and GmVTL1b are members of the vacuolar iron transporter family in soybean.
- Association GmVTL1a expression is enhanced in soybean nodule infected cells.
- Observation GmVTL1a is localized to the symbiosome membrane in soybean.
- Intervention effect Expressing GmVTL1a in the Ljsen1 mutant restores nitrogen fixation.
- Intervention effect Three GmVTL1a amino acid substitutions reduce iron transport in yeast.
- Intervention effect Three GmVTL1a amino acid substitutions block nitrogen fixation in Ljsen1 plants.
- Mechanism GmVTL1a is responsible for iron transport across the symbiosome membrane to bacteroids and plays a crucial role in nitrogen-fixing symbiosis in soybean.
