Abstract
The invention relates to root-specific expansin gene to regulating root growth and obstacle-touching stress resistance in the plant, and more particularly to a root growth regulating gene, GmEXP1, isolated from soybean (Glycine max), an expansin polypeptide encoded by the gene and a method for enhancing root growth of plants by overexpression of the gene in the plants.
