The soil emergence-related transcription factor PIF3 controls root penetration by interacting with the receptor kinase FER
Dev Cell. 2024 Jan 23:S1534-5807(24)00001-7. doi: 10.1016/j.devcel.2024.01.001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe cotyledons of etiolated seedlings from terrestrial flowering plants must emerge from the soil surface, while roots must penetrate the soil to ensure plant survival. We show here that the soil emergence-related transcription factor PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 3 (PIF3) controls root penetration via transducing external signals perceived by the receptor kinase FERONIA (FER) in Arabidopsis thaliana. The loss of FER function in Arabidopsis and soybean (Glycine max) mutants resulted in a severe defect in root pene...

Nodulation Experiment by Cross-Inoculation of Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria Isolated from Root Nodules of Several Leguminous Plants
This study isolated the endophytic root-nodule bacteria from the nodules of legumes and examined them to determine whether they could be used to promote the formation of nodules in other legumes. Forty-six isolates were collected from five leguminous plants and screened for housekeeping (16S rRNA), nitrogen fixation (nifH), and nodulation (nodC) genes. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequencing and phylogenetic analysis, the bacterial isolates WC15, WC16, WC24, and GM5 were identified as Rhizobium, Sphingomonas, Methylobacterium, and Bradyrhizobium, respectively. The four isolates were found to have the nifH gene, and the study...

Understanding Phakopsora pachyrhizi in soybean: comprehensive insights, threats, and interventions from the Asian perspective
Soybean (Glycine max L.) is an important crop in Asia, accounting for 17% of global soybean cultivation. However, this crop faces formidable challenges from the devastating foliar disease, Asian Soybean Rust (ASR), caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi, a biotrophic fungus with a broad host range, causing substantial yield losses (10–100%) in Asia. This comprehensive review consolidates knowledge on ASR, encompassing its impact, historical perspectives, genetic diversity, epidemic drivers, early detection, risk assessment, and sustainable management strategies of ASR in the region. ASR has expanded globally from Asia, reaching...

Development of a soybean leaf disc assay for determining oral insecticidal activity in the lepidopteran agricultural pest Helicoverpa armigera
Toxicon. 2023 Dec 24:107588. doi: 10.1016/j.toxicon.2023.107588. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPest insects pose a heavy burden on global agricultural industries with small molecule insecticides being predominantly used for their control. Unwanted side effects and resistance development plagues most small molecule insecticides such as the neonicotinoids, which have been reported to be harmful to honeybees. Bioinsecticides like Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins can be used as environmentally-friendly alternatives. Arachnid venoms comprise another promising source of bioinsecticides, containing a multitude of selective and ...

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 40: The Mechanisms of Molybdate Distribution and Homeostasis with Special Focus on the Model Plant Arabidopsis thaliana
holdt This review article deals with the pathways of cellular and global molybdate distribution in plants, especially with a full overview for the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. In its oxidized state as bioavailable molybdate, molybdenum can be absorbed from the environment. Especially in higher plants, molybdenum is indispensable as part of the molybdenum cofactor (Moco), which is responsible for functionality as a prosthetic group in a variety of essential enzymes like nitrate reductase and sulfite oxidase. Therefore, plants need mechanisms for molybdate import and transport within the organism, which are accompli...

Effects of a standardized extract of glycine max co-cultured with basidiomycota on HDL metabolic pathway in high-fat diet-fed-ovariectomized mice
Rationale: Endogenous estrogen deficiency is known to increase the susceptibility to developing lipid metabolic disorders in postmenopausal women. Further study using experimental animals has shown that ovariectomy (OVX) caused fatty liver by increasing lipogenesis and insulin resistance in high-fat diet (HFD) fed mice, and administration of one of estrogens, estradiol (E2) improved hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance in hepatocytes of these mice 1). A standardized extract of Glycine max co-cultured with Basidiomycota (EGCB) is a soybean-rich contemporary medicine that contains isoflavones such as genistein, daidzein,...

GSE193328 The comparative response of soybean and mungbean to low-temperature stress and uniconazole
Contributor : Mingming ChenSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Vigna radiataSoybean (Glycine max) and mungbean (Vigna radiata) are among the most important legumes in the world. Although low-temperature stress is causing globe-wide harm to legumes ’ production, less was known about the mechanisms on the response of soybean and mungbean to low-temperature stress, especially on the distinctive studies on their response. To do that, we comprehensively surveyed the difference between soybean and mungbean under the stimulation of low temperature and investigated the potential applicati...

Maize-soybean intercropping improved maize growth traits by increasing soil nutrients and reducing plant pathogen abundance
In this study, a field experiment was conducted, and the bacterial and fungal communities of maize rhizosphere soils in maize-soybean intercropping systems treated with different N fertilization rates were investigated using Illumina NovaSeq sequencing. Maize growth traits, soil physicochemical properties and soil enzyme activities were also examined.Results and discussion:We found that intercropping and N fertilizer treatments strongly influenced soil microbial diversity, structure and function. The PLSPM (partial least squares path modeling) confirmed that soil nutrients directly positively affected maize biomass and tha...
