GmAP2 enhances plant tolerance to aluminum toxicity and phosphorus deficiency in Arabidopsis.

ABSTRACT:

Key message

Overexpression of the GmAP2 gene regulates several aspects of gene expression in Arabidopsis, including acid-aluminum stress, low-phosphorus stress, ERF family transcription factors, ABA signaling, and genes related to lateral root development. The overexpression of GmAP2 can help plants mitigate the effects of aluminum toxicity and increase their tolerance to low-phosphorus stress. Ethylene response factors (ERFs) represent one of the largest transcription factor families in plants and are involved in regulating biotic and abiotic stresses, as well as growth and development in higher plants. In this study, the soybean GmAP2 gene, encoding the AP2/ERF transcription factor, is a downstream gene of GsMYB7, which enhances soybean tolerance to aluminum toxicity under acidic
