Phytophthora sojae causes root and stem rot disease of soybean (Glycine max), leading to huge annual yield loss worldwide, but resistance (Rps) genes remains elusive. Soybean cultivar "Yudou 29" is resistant P. strain PsMC1, this study aimed clone, identify, characterize the Rps gene in Yudou 29 (RpsYD29) clarify its functional mechanism. We map-based cloned RpsYD29 (ZINC FINGER PROTEIN03, GmZFP03) using families a cross between sojae-susceptible "Jikedou 2". GmZFP03 was functionally...
Crop productivity is severely reduced by water deficit and drought in many plant species including soybean. Improved root shoot traits can contribute to tolerance ability of the plant. This research was conducted identify QTL that underlie several ‘Essex’ ‘Forrest’ (ExF RILs, n=94) recombinant inbred line (RIL) soybean population. Field collected samples were used for gathering phenotypic data basal thickness (BRT), lateral number (LRN), maximum length (MRL), fresh weight (RFW), dry (RDW),...
Abstract Expanded agriculture production is required to support the world's population but can impose substantial environmental and climate change costs, particularly with intensifying animal protein demand. Shifting from an animal- a plant-based diet has numerous health benefits. Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) major source of for human food feed; improved soybean content amino acid composition could provide high-quality soymeal feed, healthier foods, reduced carbon footprint. Nonetheless,...
Drought affects soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] and other crops productivity in the US parts of world. Relative water content (RWC) is an important indicator for plant deficit tolerance (WDT). The objective this study to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) RWC several leaf traits such as dry weight (LDW), fresh (LFW), turgid (LTW) two recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations, one derived from a cross ‘Essex’ ‘Forrest’ (ExF, n=94) ‘PI 438489B’ ‘Hamilton’ (PIxH, n=50). In PIxH RIL population,...
Research of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for macronutrient accumulation in soybean seed is limited. Therefore, the objective this research was to identify QTL related macronutrients (N, C, S, P, K, Ca, and Mg) seeds 92 F5:7 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed from a cross between MD 96-5722 (MD) Spencer using total 5,376 Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) markers. A genetic linkage map based on SNP markers constructed Illumina Infinium SoySNP6K BeadChip Array. The RILs were...
Mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON), produced by Gibberella zeae (Schwein.) Petch (teleomorph of Fusarium graminearum Schwabe) was known to be both a virulence factor in the pathogenesis Triticum aestivum L. (wheat) and an inhibitor Arabidopsis thaliana seed germination. causes ear rot maize (Zea mays L.) head blight (FHB) wheat barley. also host for related root pathogen F. virguliforme Aoki. A. seedling growth reduced proportional response increasing spore concentrations. Here, changes...
