| changes in gene expression between a soybean f1 hybrid and its parents are associated with agronomically valuable traits. | soybean [glycine max (l.) merr.] genetic diversity is limited because domesticated soybean has undergone multiple genetic bottlenecks. its progenitor, the wild soybean [glycine soja siebold & zucc], has not undergone the same intense selection and is much more genetically diverse than domesticated soybean. however, the agronomic importance of diversity in wild soybean is unclear, and its weedy nature makes assessment difficult. to address this issue, we chose for study a highly selected, adapted ... | 2017 | 28493991 |
| differential expression of a wrky gene between wild and cultivated soybeans correlates to seed size. | soybean (glycine max) probably originated from the wild soybean (glycine soja). glycine max has a significantly larger seed size, but the underlying genomic changes are largely unknown. candidate regulatory genes were preliminarily proposed by data co-localizing rna sequencing with the quantitative loci (qtls) for seed size. the soybean gene locus soywrky15a and its orthologous genes from g. max (gmwrky15a) and g. soja (gswrky15a) were analyzed in detail. the coding sequences were nearly identic ... | 0 | 28472462 |
| physiological responses of three soybean species (glycine soja, g. gracilis, and g. max cv. melrose) to salinity stress. | understanding the mechanism for salt tolerance in wild soybean (glycine soja) can help researchers improve that trait in cultivated soybean lines. we analyzed the effects of excess nacl on the growth, physiology, and ion distribution in three soybean species: wild g. soja (w8), semi-wild g. gracilis (sw18), and the cultivated salt-sensitive g. max (cv. melrose). these comparisons revealed that, under salt stress, shoot and root lengths and biomass (either shoot or root dry weights) were signific ... | 2017 | 28378100 |
| a pp2c-1 allele underlying a quantitative trait locus enhances soybean 100-seed weight. | cultivated soybeans may lose some useful genetic locus during domestication. introgression of genes from wild soybeans may broaden the genetic background and improve soybean agronomic traits. here, through whole-genome sequencing of an ril population derived from a cross between a wild soybean zyd7 and a cultivated soybean hn44, and mapping of qtls for seed weight, we discover that a phosphatase 2c-1 (pp2c-1) allele from wild soybean zyd7 contributes to the increase of seed weight/size in transg ... | 2017 | 28363587 |
| plasticity and innovation of regulatory mechanisms underlying seed oil content mediated by duplicated genes in the palaeopolyploid soybean. | many plants have undergone whole genome duplication (wgd). however, how regulatory networks underlying a particular trait are reshaped in polyploids has not been experimentally investigated. here we show that the regulatory pathways modulating seed oil content, which involve wrinkled1 (wri1), leafy cotyledon1 (lec1), and lec2 in arabidopsis, have been modified in the palaeopolyploid soybean. such modifications include functional reduction of gmwri1b of the gmwri1a/gmwri1b homoeologous pair relev ... | 2017 | 28295817 |
| identity recognition in response to different levels of genetic relatedness in commercial soya bean. | identity recognition systems allow plants to tailor competitive phenotypes in response to the genetic relatedness of neighbours. there is limited evidence for the existence of recognition systems in crop species and whether they operate at a level that would allow for identification of different degrees of relatedness. here, we test the responses of commercial soya bean cultivars to neighbours of varying genetic relatedness consisting of other commercial cultivars (intraspecific), its wild proge ... | 2017 | 28280587 |
