In this paper, we analyzed the function and modulation of the soybean phosphate transporter gene GmPT 1 . Overexpression of GmPT 1 in tobacco showed that this gene played a role in P i remobilization. In a soybean RIL population, the expression level of GmPT 1 showed significantly positive correlations with seed yield, phosphorus‐use efficiency, photosynthetic rate (P N ) and the quantum yield of PSII primary photochemistry (Φ PSII ). Expression quantitative trait loci (e QTL ) mapping for GmPT 1 revealed one cis ‐e QTL and one trans ‐e QTL . These results suggest the possibility to improve soybean seed yields under P i‐limiting conditions by modulating GmPT 1 expression.
