Morphological and microsatellite marker-based characterization and diversity analysis of novel vegetable soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill]
CONCLUSION: The diverse genotypes identified can be helpful to understand the genetics of vegetable soybean traits and can be used in improvement programs; study also explains the utility of SSR markers for diversity analysis of vegetable soybean. Here, we identified the highly informative SSRs with PIC > 0.80 (satt199, satt165, satt167, satt191, satt183, satt202, and satt126), which apply to genetic structure analysis, mapping strategies, polymorphic marker surveys, and background selection in genomics-assisted breeding.PMID:36869205 | DOI:10.1007/s11033-023-08328-1 (Source: Molecular Biology Reports)

Characterization of hexokinase gene family members in Glycine max and functional analysis of GmHXK2 under salt stress
In this study, 17 GmHXK genes (GmHXKs) were identified in the G. max genome and the features of their encoded proteins, conserved domains, gene structures, and cis-acting elements were systematically characterized. The GmHXK2 gene isolated from G. max was firstly constructed into plant expression vector pMDC83 and then transformed with Agrobacterium tumefaciens into Arabidopsis thaliana. The expression of integrated protein was analyzed by Western Blotting. Subcellular localization analysis showed that the GmHXK2 was located on both vacuolar and cell membrane. Under salt stress, seedlings growth was significantly improved ...

Nitric oxide and brassinosteroids enhance chromium stress tolerance in Glycine max L. (Merr.) by modulating antioxidative defense and glyoxalase systems
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Feb 22. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-25901-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChromium (Cr) contamination of agricultural soils is a major threat to human and plant health worldwide and causes reductions in plant growth and crop yields. 24-epibrassinolide (EBL) and nitric oxide (NO) have been shown to ameliorate the reductions in growth caused by the stresses induced by heavy metals; however, the interactions between EBL and NO on the alleviation of Cr-induced phytotoxicity have been poorly studied. Hence, this study was undertaken to examine any beneficial effects of EBL (0.01 µM) and NO (100 µ...

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 3345: Treated Livestock Wastewater Irrigation Is Safe for Maize (Zea mays) and Soybean (Glycine max) Intercropping System Considering Heavy Metals Migration in Soil & ndash;Plant System
This study found that treated wastewater irrigation and intercropping systems synergically increased the soil nutrient content and crop growth. The concentrations of Zn, Pb, and Cd were significantly higher in leaves compared to other plant parts contrastingly to Cu, which was higher in roots. In addition, treated wastewater irrigation increased grain nutrient content in mono- and intercropping systems while the concentration of heavy metals was in the acceptable range for human consumption. The enrichment degree of Cu and Pb due to treated livestock wastewater irrigation relative to groundwater irrigation was higher in un...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 1798: Effects of CeO2 Nanoparticles on Nutritional Quality of Two Crop Plants, Corn (Zea mays L.) and Soybean (Glycine max L.)
In this study, the effects of CeO2 NPs (25, 75, and 225 mg Ce/kg) and CeCl3 (25 mg Ce/kg) on the nutritional components of soil-cultivated corn and soybean plants were evaluated. Both treatments tended to decrease the dry weight of grain per plant, while only 225 mg/kg CeO2 NPs on soybean and CeCl3 on corn showed statistical significance compared with the respective control. CeO2 NPs at 225 mg/kg significantly decreased the content of starch in the corn kernels by 18.2% but increased total phenols in soybean seeds by 18.4%. Neither CeO2 NPs nor CeCl3 significantly affected the contents of minerals in corn kernels except fo...

Soil organic carbon, aggregation and fungi community after 44  years of no-till and cropping systems in the Central Great Plains, USA
This study focuses on the soil health of three long-term (44 years) tillage systems, NT, reduced tillage (RT), and conventional tillage (CT), in monoculture winter wheat-fallow (W-F) (Triticum aestivum L.) and wheat-soybean (W-S) (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) rotation. Soil organic carbon (C) was higher in NT than CT in the surface 0-5 cm, but not different in the 5-15 cm, demonstrating SOC stratification on the soil profile. The soil water content was higher in NT followed by RT and CT in the top 0-5 cm. We found an association between increased carbon, aggregation, and AMF biomass. Greater soil aggregation, carbon and AMF w...

Genome-wide identification of acyl-CoA binding proteins and possible functional prediction in legumes
Acyl-CoA-binding proteins (ACBPs), members of a vital housekeeping protein family, are present in various animal and plant species. They are divided into four classes: small ACBPs (class I), ankyrin-repeat ACBPs (class II), large ACBPs (class III), and kelch-ACBPs (class IV). Plant ACBPs play a pivotal role in intracellular transport, protection, and pool formation of acyl-CoA esters, promoting plant development and stress response. Even though legume crops are important for vegetable oils, proteins, vegetables and green manure, legume ACBPs are not well investigated. To comprehensively explore the functions of ACBPs in ni...

Combining phytoremediation with bioenergy production: developing a multi-criteria decision matrix for plant species selection
In this study, we proposed a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) to aid decision-making on plant species based on information generated from a systematic review survey. Eight species Helianthus annuus (sunflower), Brassica juncea (Indian mustard), Glycine max (soybean), Salix spp. (willow), Populus spp. (poplar), Panicum virgatum (switchgrass), Typha latifolia (cattails), and Miscanthus sinensis (silvergrass) were examined based on the amount of hits on a number of scientific search databases. The data was normalized by estimating their min-max values and their suitability. These criteria/indicators were weighted based...
