A combinatorial action of GmMYB176 and GmbZIP5 controls isoflavonoid biosynthesis in soybean (Glycine max)

Anguraj Vadivel et al. show that a bZIP transcription factor GmbZIP5 interacts with an R1 MYB transcription factor GmMYB176 to regulate the biosynthesis of isoflavonoid in soybean. This study suggests biotechnological strategies to manipulate the levels of metabolites for plant defense or human heal...

Description
Summary:Anguraj Vadivel et al. show that a bZIP transcription factor GmbZIP5 interacts with an R1 MYB transcription factor GmMYB176 to regulate the biosynthesis of isoflavonoid in soybean. This study suggests biotechnological strategies to manipulate the levels of metabolites for plant defense or human health benefits in economically important crops.
