Crop breeding during the Green Revolution resulted in high yields largely due to creation of plants with semi-dwarf architectures that could tolerate high-density planting. Although varieties have been developed rice, wheat and maize, none was reported soybean (Glycine max), few genes controlling plant architecture characterized soybean. Here, we demonstrate auxin efflux transporter PINFORMED1 (GmPIN1), which determines polar transport, regulates leaf petiole angle CRISPR-Cas9-induced...
To overcome nitrogen deficiency, legume roots establish symbiotic interactions with nitrogen-fixing rhizobia that are fostered in specialized organs (nodules). Similar to other organs, nodule formation is determined by a local maximum of the phytohormone auxin at primordium site. However, how regulates development remains poorly understood. Here, we found soybean, (Glycine max), dynamic transport driven PIN-FORMED (PIN) transporter GmPIN1 involved formation. was specifically expressed cells...
The primary cell wall is a fundamental plant constituent that flexible but sufficiently rigid to support the shape. Although many studies have demonstrated reactive oxygen species (ROS) serve as important signaling messengers modify structure and affect cellular growth, regulatory mechanism underlying spatial-temporal regulation of ROS activity for maintenance remains largely unclear. Here, we demonstrate role Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) multicopper oxidase-like protein skewed 5...
Symbiotic nodules comprise two classes, indeterminate and determinate, defined by the presence/absence of apical meristem developmental zonation. Why zonation are absent from determinate remains unclear. Here, we define cell types in developing soybean nodules, highlighting undifferentiated infection zones differentiated nitrogen-fixation zones. Auxin governs zone maintenance. GRETCHEN HAGEN 3 (GH3) enzymes deactivate auxin conjugation promote differentiation. gh3 mutants increased cells...
Summary Legume nodulation requires light perception by plant shoots and precise long‐distance communication between shoot root. Recent studies have revealed that TGACG‐motif binding factors (GmSTFs) integrate signals to promote root nodulation; however, the regulatory mechanisms underlying nodule formation in changing conditions remain elusive. Here, we applied genetic engineering, metabolite measurement, transcriptional analysis study soybean ( Glycine max ) nodules. We clarify a...
