Abstract
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation in legume nodules requires substantial energy investment from host plants, and soybean (Glycine max (L.) supernodulation mutants show stunting and yield penalties due to overconsumption of carbon sources. We obtained soybean mutants differing in their nodulation ability, among which rhizobially induced cle1a/2a (ric1a/2a) has a moderate increase in nodule number, balanced carbon allocation, and enhanced carbon and nitrogen acquisition. In multi-year and multi-site field trials in China, two ric1a/2a lines had improved grain yield, protein content and sustained oil content, demonstrating that gene editing towards optimal nodulation improves soybean yield and quality.

Evaluation of Short-Season Soybean Genotypes for Resistance and Partial Resistance to Phytophthora sojae. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24076027. [PMID: 37046998 PMCID: PMC10093987 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24076027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2022] [Revised: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Phytophthora root and stem rot caused by Phytophthora sojae Kaufmann and Gerdemann is a soil-borne disease severely affecting soybean production worldwide. Losses caused by P. sojae can be controlled by both major genes and quantitative trait locus. Here, we tested 112 short-season soybean cultivars from Northeast China for resistance to P. sojae. A total of 58 germplasms were resistant to 7-11 P. sojae strains. Among these, Mengdou 28 and Kejiao 10-262 may harbor either Rps3a or multiple Rps genes conferring resistance to P. sojae. The remaining 110 germplasms produced 91 reaction types and may contain new resistance genes or gene combinations. Partial resistance evaluation using the inoculum layer method revealed that 34 soybean germplasms had high partial resistance, with a mean disease index lower than 30. Combining the results of resistance and partial resistance analyses, we identified 35 excellent germplasm resources as potential elite materials for resistance and tolerance in future breeding programs. In addition, we compared the radicle inoculation method with the inoculum layer method to screen for partial resistance to P. sojae. Our results demonstrate that the radicle inoculation method could potentially replace the inoculum layer method to identify partial resistance against P. sojae, and further verification with larger samples is required in the future.

Curr Issues Mol Biol 2022; 44:3194-3207.

Abstract
Phytophthora root rot (PRR) is a destructive disease of soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr) caused by Phytophthora sojae (P. sojae). The most effective way to prevent the disease is growing resistant or tolerant varieties. Partial resistance provides a more durable resistance against the pathogen compared to complete resistance. Wild soybean (Glycine soja Sieb. & Zucc.) seems to be an extraordinarily important gene pool for soybean improvement due to its high level of genetic variation. In this study, 242 wild soybean germplasms originating from different regions of Heilongjiang province were used to identify resistance genes to P. sojae race 1 using a genome-wide association study (GWAS). A total of nine significant SNPs were detected, repeatedly associated with P. sojae resistance and located on chromosomes 1, 10, 12, 15, 17, 19 and 20. Among them, seven favorable allelic variations associated with P. sojae resistance were evaluated by a t-test. Eight candidate genes were predicted to explore the mechanistic hypotheses of partial resistance, including Glysoja.19G051583, which encodes an LRR receptor-like serine/threonine protein kinase protein, Glysoja.19G051581, which encodes a receptor-like cytosolic serine/threonine protein kinase protein. These findings will provide additional insights into the genetic architecture of P. sojae resistance in a large sample of wild soybeans and P. sojae-resistant breeding through marker-assisted selection.

Abstract
Phytophthora root and stem rot caused by Phytophthora sojae is a destructive disease that afflicts soybean plants throughout the world. The use of resistant soybean cultivars is the primary means of managing this disease, as well as the most effective and economical approach. There are abundant soybean germplasm resources in China that could be deployed for breeding programs; however, the resistance genes (Rps genes) in most cultivars are unknown, leading to uncertainty concerning which are resistant cultivars for use. The resistance genes Rps1a, Rps1c, and Rps1k prevent root and stem rot caused by most P. sojae isolates within a Chinese field population. This study identified three Rps genes in Chinese domestic soybean cultivars using three related avirulence genes by particle bombardment. The complex genetic diversity of soybean cultivars and P. sojae strains has made it difficult to define single Rps genes without molecular involvement. Gene cobombardment is a method for identifying Rps genes quickly and specifically. We showed that cultivars Dongnong 60 and Henong 72 contained Rps1a, while Hedou 19, Henong 76, 75-3, Wandou 21020, Zheng 196, Wandou 28, Heinong 71, and Wandou 29 all contained Rps1c. The cultivars Jidou 12, Henong 72, Heinong 71, and Wandou 29 contained Rps1k. The cultivar Henong 72 contained both Rps1a and Rps1k, while Wandou 29 and Heinong 71 contained both Rps1c and Rps1k. We then evaluated the phenotype of 11 domestic soybean cultivars reacting to P. sojae using the isolates P6497 and Ps1. The 11 domestic cultivars were all resistant to P6497 and Ps1. This research provides source materials and parent plant strains containing Rps1a, Rps1c, and Rps1k for soybean breeding programs.
