Molecular cloning and functional characterization of a soybean GmGMP1 gene reveals its involvement in ascorbic acid biosynthesis and multiple abiotic stress tolerance in transgenic plants

L-Ascorbic acid (AsA) plays an important role in plants and animals. In plants, GDP-D-mannose pyrophosphorylase (GMP) is essential in the AsA biosynthetic pathway. However, little is known about the genes encoding GMP in soybean and here we report genetic and functional analysis of the GmGMP1 (Glyci...
