| Description: | We showed that exogenous application of synthetic miPEP172c could be used to stimulate miR172c expression. The miR172c activation results in a more active repression of its target gene, the AP2 transcription factor NNC1. The miPEP172c treatment ultimately leads to the stimulation of nodulation in soybean, which is one of the most cultivated legumes is the world. |
| Subcellular location: | NA |
| Function: | Our results showed that, in the same conditions of lack of external nitrogen fertilization, treatment with miPEP172c significantly increased the nodule number observed per plant. |
