Seed germination is an important event in the life cycle of seed plants, and is controlled by complex and coordinated genetic networks. Many genes involved in the regulation of this process have been identified in different plant species so far. Recent studies in both  Arabidopsis  and wheat have uncovered a new role of  MOTHER OF FT AND TFL1  ( MFT ) in seed germination. Here, we reported a homolog of  MFT  in soybean ( GmMFT ) which strongly expressed in seeds. Detailed expression analysis showed that the mRNA level of  GmMFT  increased with seed development but declined during seed germination. The transcription of  GmMFT  also responded to exogenous application of ABA and GA3. Ectopic expression of  GmMFT  CDS in  Arabidopsis  moderately inhibited seed germination. All these evidences suggest that  GmMFT  may be a negative regulator of seed germination.
