Transcription factor WAX INDUCER1 (WIN1) plays an important role in wax and cutin biosynthesis in plants. In this study, six GmWIN1 genes were identified from soybean (Glycine max), with GmWIN1–5 having high expression in flowers and seeds, particularly under cold stress. GmWIN1–5′s functions in lip...
