GIS-FA: an approach to integrating thematic maps, factor-analytic, and envirotyping for cultivar targeting
Theor Appl Genet. 2024 Mar 12;137(4):80. doi: 10.1007/s00122-024-04579-z.ABSTRACTWe propose an "enviromics" prediction model for recommending cultivars based on thematic maps aimed at decision-makers. Parsimonious methods that capture genotype-by-environment interaction (GEI) in multi-environment trials (MET) are important in breeding programs. Understanding the causes and factors of GEI allows the utilization of genotype adaptations in the target population of environments through environmental features and factor-analytic (FA) models. Here, we present a novel predictive breeding approach called GIS-FA, which integrates g...

Ciceribacter sichuanensis sp. nov., a plant growth promoting rhizobacterium isolated from root nodules of soybean in Sichuan, China
Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek. 2024 Mar 1;117(1):46. doi: 10.1007/s10482-024-01941-5.ABSTRACTThe fast-growing rhizobia-like strains S101T and S153, isolated from root nodules of soybean (Glycine max) in Sichuan, People's Republic of China, underwent characterization using a polyphasic taxonomy approach. The strains exhibited growth at 20-40 °C (optimum, 28 °C), pH 4.0-10.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and up to 2.0% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0.01%) on Yeast Mannitol Agar plates. The 16S rRNA gene of strain S101T showed 98.4% sequence similarity to the closest type strain, Ciceribacter daejeonense L61T. Major cellular fatty acids in strain S10...

In Silico Comparison of WRKY Transcription Factors in Wild and Cultivated Soybean and Their Co-expression Network Arbitrating Disease Resistance
Biochem Genet. 2024 Feb 27. doi: 10.1007/s10528-024-10701-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWRKY Transcription factors (TFs) play critical roles in plant defence mechanisms that are activated in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, information on the Glycine soja WRKYs (GsoWRKYs) is scarce. Owing to its importance in soybean breeding, here we identified putative WRKY TFs in wild soybean, and compared the results with Glycine max WRKYs (GmaWRKYs) by phylogenetic, conserved motif, and duplication analyses. Moreover, we explored the expression trends of WRKYs in G. max (oomycete, fungi, virus, bacteria, and soybea...

Identification and molecular mapping of a major gene conferring resistance to Phytophthora sansomeana in soybean 'Colfax'
In this study, we crossed 'Colfax' with a susceptible parent, 'Senaki', and developed three mapping populations with a total of 234 F2:3 families. Inheritance pattern analysis indicated a 1:2:1 ratio for resistant: segregating: susceptible lines among all the three populations, indicating a single dominant gene conferring the resistance in 'Colfax' (designated as Rpsan1). Linkage analysis using extreme phenotypes anchored Rpsan1 to a 30 Mb region on chromosome 3. By selecting nine polymorphic SNP markers within the region, Rpsan1 was genetically delimited into a 21.3 cM region between Gm03_4487138_A_C and Gm03_5451606_A_C,...

Development of full-length infectious cDNA clones and host range identification of an echinacea strain of tobacco streak virus
Virology. 2024 Feb 11;593:110013. doi: 10.1016/j.virol.2024.110013. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTobacco streak virus induces severe diseases on a wide range of plants and becomes an emerging threat to crop yields. However, the infectious clones of TSV remain to be developed for reverse genetics studies. Here, we obtained the full genome sequence of a TSV-CNB isolate and analyzed the phylogenetic characteristics. Subsequently, we developed the full-length infectious cDNA clones of TSV-CNB driven by 35 S promoter using yeast homologous recombination. Furthermore, the host range of TSV-CNB isolate was determined by Agrobact...
