Abstract
Water shortage is one of the most important environmental factors limiting crop yield. In this study, we used wild soybean (Glycine soja Sieb. et Zucc.) and soybean (Glycinemax (L.) Merr.) seedlings as experimental materials, simulated drought stress using soil gravimetry, measured growth and physiological parameters, and analyzed differentially expressed genes and metabolites in the leaves of seedling by integrated transcriptomics and metabolomics techniques. The results indicate that under water deficit, Glycine soja maintained stable photosynthate by accumulating Mg2+, Fe3+, Mn2+, Zn2+ and B3+, and improved water absorption by increasing root growth. Notably, Glycine soja enhanced linoleic acid metabolism and plasma membrane intrinsic protein (PIP1) gene expression to maintain membrane fluidity, and increased pentose, glucuronate and galactose metabolism and thaumatin protein genes expression to remodel the cell wall, thereby increasing water-absorption to better tolerate to drought stress. In addition, it was found that secondary phenolic metabolism, such as phenylpropane biosynthesis, flavonoid biosynthesis and ascobate and aldarate metabolism were weakened, resulting in the collapse of the antioxidant system, which was the main reason for the sensitivity of Glycine max to drought stress. These results provide new insights into plant adaptation to water deficit and offer a theoretical basis for breeding soybean varieties with drought tolerance.

Abstract
Introduction Enhancing the planning of the forest-agricultural composite model and increasing the efficiency with which forest land is utilized could benefit from a thorough understanding of the impacts of intercropping between forests and agriculture on soil physicochemical properties and microbial communities. Methods Populus cathayana × candansis cv. Xinlin No.1 and Glycine max intercrop soils, along with their corresponding monocrops, were used in this study's llumina high-throughput sequencing analysis to determine the composition and diversity of soil bacterial and fungal communities. Results The findings indicated that intercropping considerably raised the soil's total phosphorus content and significantly lowered the soil's carbon nitrogen ratio when compared to poplar single cropping. Furthermore, the total carbon and nitrogen content of soil was increased and the soil pH was decreased. The sequencing results showed that intercropping had no significant effect on soil alpha diversity. Intercropping could increase the composition of fungal community and decrease the composition of bacterial community in poplar soil. At the phylum level, intercropping significantly increased the relative abundance of four dominant phyla, i.e., Patescibacteria, Proteobacteria, Patescibacteria and Deinococcus-Thermus. And the relative abundances of only two dominant phyla were significantly increased. It was found that soil total phosphorus and available phosphorus content had the strongest correlation with soil bacterial community diversity, and soil pH had the strongest correlation with soil fungal community diversity. Discussion The results of this study were similar to those of previous studies. This study can serve as a theoretical foundation for the development of a poplar and black bean-based forest-agricultural complex management system in the future.

Abstract
Transient protein expression is a versatile tool with diverse applications and can be used in soybeans to study gene function, obtain mutants, and produce proteins for commercial use. However, soybeans are considered recalcitrant for agroinfiltration. Subsequent studies on soybeans have demonstrated a green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression in seedpods, but not in leaves, using syringe agroinfiltration. To evaluate agroinfiltration-based transient protein expression levels in plant cells, we used the transient expression vector pTKB3 harboring the GFP gene. Using Agrobacterium tumefaciens, vacuum agroinfiltration of the leaves and needle agroinfiltration of the seedlings of different soybean varieties were performed. GFP was transiently expressed in all of the samples. However, the Enrei and Williams 82 varieties presented better results than the other varieties in the leaf tissue, with results confirmed by immunoblot analysis, demonstrating that both varieties are good candidates for molecular biological studies. GFP expression in the seedlings was less extensive than that in the leaves, which may be due to the tissue characteristics, with Enrei showing the best results. Based on this observation, we conclude that the Tsukuba system is an effective tool that can be used for different tissues and soybean varieties.

Abstract
The purpose of our study was to determine whether the application of quinone outside inhibitor (QoI) and pyrazole-carboxamide fungicides as a tank mix would impact the endophyte community of soybean seed. Field trials during 2018 in Iowa, South Dakota, and Wisconsin, U.S.A., investigated the impact of a single combination fungicide spray at early pod set in soybeans. The composition of culturable endophytic fungi in mature soybean seed was assessed on three cultivars per state, with maturity groups (MGs) ranging from 1.1 to 4.7. An unusually wet 2018 season delayed harvest, which led to a high level of fungal growth in grain. The survey included 1,080 asymptomatic seeds that were disinfested and individually placed on 5-cm-diameter Petri plates of acidified water agar. The survey yielded 721 fungal isolates belonging to 24 putative species in seven genera; taxa were grouped into genera based on a combination of morphological and molecular evidence. The dominant genera encountered in the survey were Alternaria, Diaporthe, and Fusarium. The study showed that the fungicide treatment reduced the incidence of Fusarium in Wisconsin seed, increased the incidence of Diaporthe in seed from all states, and had no impact on the incidence of Alternaria. This is one of the first attempts to characterize the diversity of seed endophytes in soybean and the first to characterize the impacts of fungicide spraying on these endophyte communities across three states. Our study provides evidence that the impact of a fungicide spray on soybean seed endophyte communities may be influenced by site, weather, and cultivar maturity group.

Abstract
Global warming, climate change, and industrial pollution are altering our environment subjecting plants, microbiomes, and ecosystems to an increasing number and complexity of abiotic stress conditions, concurrently or sequentially. These conditions, termed, "multifactorial stress combination" (MFSC), can cause a significant decline in plant growth and survival. However, the impacts of MFSC on reproductive tissues and yield of major crop plants are largely unknown. We subjected soybean (Glycine max) plants to a MFSC of up to five different stresses (water deficit, salinity, low phosphate, acidity, and cadmium), in an increasing level of complexity, and conducted integrative transcriptomic-phenotypic analysis of their reproductive and vegetative tissues. We reveal that MFSC has a negative cumulative effect on soybean yield, that each set of MFSC condition elicits a unique transcriptomic response (that is different between flowers and leaves), and that selected genes expressed in leaves or flowers of soybean are linked to the effects of MFSC on different vegetative, physiological, and/or reproductive parameters. Our study identified networks and pathways associated with reactive oxygen species, ascorbic acid and aldarate, and iron/copper signaling/metabolism as promising targets for future biotechnological efforts to augment the resilience of reproductive tissues of major crop plants to MFSC. In addition, we provide unique phenotypic and transcriptomic datasets for dissecting the mechanistic effects of MFSC on the vegetative, physiological, and reproductive processes of a crop plant.

Abstract
Soybeans are one of the most cultivated crops worldwide and drought can seriously affect their growth and development. Many studies have elucidated the mechanisms through which soybean leaves respond to drought; however, little is known about these mechanisms in roots. We used two soybean varieties with different drought tolerances to study the morphological, physiological, and molecular response mechanisms of the root system to drought stress in seedlings. We found that drought stress led to a significant decrease in the root traits and an increase in antioxidant enzyme activity in the two varieties. Drought-resistant varieties accumulate large amounts of flavonoids and phenolic acids at the metabolic level, which causes variations in drought resistance. Additionally, differences in gene expression and drought-resistance pathways between the two varieties were clarified using transcriptome analysis. Through a multi-omics joint analysis, phenylpropanoid and isoflavonoid biosynthesis were identified as the core drought resistance pathways in soybean roots. Candidate genes and marker metabolites affecting drought resistance were identified. The phenylpropanoid pathway confers drought tolerance to roots by maintaining a high level of POD activity and mediates the biosynthesis of various secondary drought-resistant metabolites to resist drought stress. This study provides useful data for investigating plant root drought responses and offers theoretical support for plant breeding for drought resistance.

Abstract
Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) is a form of abiotic stress that negatively impacts soybean yield. In a previous study, we demonstrated that the historical IDC quantitative trait locus (QTL) on soybean chromosome Gm03 was composed of four distinct linkage blocks, each containing candidate genes for IDC tolerance. Here, we take advantage of virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) to validate the function of three high-priority candidate genes, each corresponding to a different linkage block in the Gm03 IDC QTL. We built three single-gene constructs to target GmGLU1 (GLUTAMATE SYNTHASE 1, Glyma.03G128300), GmRR4 (RESPONSE REGULATOR 4, Glyma.03G130000), and GmbHLH38 (beta Helix Loop Helix 38, Glyma.03G130400 and Glyma.03G130600). Given the polygenic nature of the iron stress tolerance trait, we also silenced the genes in combination. We built two constructs targeting GmRR4+GmGLU1 and GmbHLH38+GmGLU1. All constructs were tested on the iron-efficient soybean genotype Clark grown in iron-sufficient conditions. We observed significant decreases in soil plant analysis development (SPAD) measurements using the GmGLU1 construct and both double constructs, with potential additive effects in the GmRR4+GmGLU1 construct. Whole genome expression analyses (RNA-seq) revealed a wide range of affected processes including known iron stress responses, defense and hormone signaling, photosynthesis, and cell wall structure. These findings highlight the importance of GmGLU1 in soybean iron stress responses and provide evidence that IDC is truly a polygenic trait, with multiple genes within the QTL contributing to IDC tolerance. Finally, we conducted BLAST analyses to demonstrate that the Gm03 IDC QTL is syntenic across a broad range of plant species.

Abstract
Hundred-seed weight (HSW) and reproductive period length (RPL) are two major agronomic traits critical for soybean production and adaptation. However, both traits are quantitatively controlled by multiple genes that have yet to be comprehensively elucidated due to the lack of major genes; thereby, the genetic basis is largely unknown. In the present study, we conducted comprehensive genome-wide association analyses (GWAS) of HSW and RPL with multiple sets of accessions that were phenotyped across different environments. The large-scale analysis led to the identification of sixty-one and seventy-four significant QTLs for HSW and RPL, respectively. An ortholog-based search analysis prioritized the most promising candidate genes for the QTLs, including nine genes (TTG2, BZR1, BRI1, ANT, KLU, EOD1/BB, GPA1, ABA2, and ABI5) for HSW QTLs and nine genes (such as AGL8, AGL9, TOC1, and COL4) and six known soybean flowering time genes (E2, E3, E4, Tof11, Tof12, and FT2b) for RPL QTLs. We also demonstrated that some QTLs were targeted during domestication to drive the artificial selection of both traits towards human-favored traits. Local adaptation likely contributes to the increased genomic diversity of the QTLs underlying RPL. The results provide additional insight into the genetic basis of HSW and RPL and prioritize a valuable resource of candidate genes that merits further investigation to reveal the complex molecular mechanism and facilitate soybean improvement.

Abstract
Plant development and productivity depend on interactions with soil microorganisms for nutrient availability, promotion of growth and protection against phytopathogens. Although the influence of the phenological stages of soybean crops and their environmental conditions on the soil bacterial communities have already been reported, no studies have focused on the influence of integrated agrosilvopastoral systems on bacterial consortia. In this study, we evaluated the influence of the phenological stages of soybean cultivated under conventional full sunlight (CFS) and integrated crop-livestock-forestry (ICLF) systems on bacterial communities in the rhizosphere and in bulk soil using high-throughput sequencing techniques. Proteobacteria, Actinobacteriota and Acidobacteriota were the most abundant phyla in both the rhizosphere and the bulk soil at all growth stages. The results support our hypotheses that the richness and diversity of soil bacterial communities are influenced by different cultivation systems, and that the structure of the bacterial communities in the rhizosphere and the bulk soil are modulated by the phenological stages of the soybean crop.

Abstract
Rhizobacteria are capable of inducing defense responses via the expression of pathogenesis-related proteins (PR-proteins) such as chitinases, and many studies have validated the functions of plant chitinases in defense responses. Soybean (Glycine max) is an economically important crop worldwide, but the functional validation of soybean chitinase in defense responses remains limited. In this study, genome-wide characterization of soybean chitinases was conducted, and the defense contribution of three chitinases (GmChi01, GmChi02, or GmChi16) was validated in Arabidopsis transgenic lines against the soil-borne pathogen Fusarium oxysporum. Compared to the Arabidopsis Col-0 and empty vector controls, the transgenic lines with GmChi02 or GmChi16 exhibited fewer chlorosis symptoms and wilting. While GmChi02 and GmChi16 enhanced defense to F. oxysporum, GmChi02 was the only one significantly induced by Burkholderia ambifaria. The observation indicated that plant chitinases may be induced by different rhizobacteria for defense responses. The survey of 37 soybean chitinase gene expressions in response to six rhizobacteria observed diverse inducibility, where only 10 genes were significantly upregulated by at least one rhizobacterium and 9 genes did not respond to any of the rhizobacteria. Motif analysis on soybean promoters further identified not only consensus but also rhizobacterium-specific transcription factor-binding sites for the inducible chitinase genes. Collectively, these results confirmed the involvement of GmChi02 and GmChi16 in defense enhancement and highlighted the diverse inducibility of 37 soybean chitinases encountering F. oxysporum and six rhizobacteria.

Abstract
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is a short-day crop for which breeders want to expand the cultivation range to more northern agro-environments by introgressing alleles involved in early reproductive traits. To do so, we investigated quantitative trait loci (QTL) and expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) regions comprised within the E8 locus, a large undeciphered region (~7.0 Mbp to 44.5 Mbp) associated with early maturity located on chromosome GM04. We used a combination of two mapping algorithms, (i) inclusive composite interval mapping (ICIM) and (ii) genome-wide composite interval mapping (GCIM), to identify major and minor regions in two soybean populations (QS15524F2:F3 and QS15544RIL) having fixed E1, E2, E3, and E4 alleles. Using this approach, we identified three main QTL regions with high logarithm of the odds (LODs), phenotypic variation explained (PVE), and additive effects for maturity and pod-filling within the E8 region: GM04:16,974,874-17,152,230 (E8-r1); GM04:35,168,111-37,664,017 (E8-r2); and GM04:41,808,599-42,376,237 (E8-r3). Using a five-step variant analysis pipeline, we identified Protein far-red elongated hypocotyl 3 (Glyma.04G124300; E8-r1), E1-like-a (Glyma.04G156400; E8-r2), Light-harvesting chlorophyll-protein complex I subunit A4 (Glyma.04G167900; E8-r3), and Cycling dof factor 3 (Glyma.04G168300; E8-r3) as the most promising candidate genes for these regions. A combinatorial eQTL mapping approach identified significant regulatory interactions for 13 expression traits (e-traits), including Glyma.04G050200 (Early flowering 3/E6 locus), with the E8-r3 region. Four other important QTL regions close to or encompassing major flowering genes were also detected on chromosomes GM07, GM08, and GM16. In GM07:5,256,305-5,404,971, a missense polymorphism was detected in the candidate gene Glyma.07G058200 (Protein suppressor of PHYA-105). These findings demonstrate that the locus known as E8 is regulated by at least three distinct genomic regions, all of which comprise major flowering genes.

Abstract
The effects of crop rotation and winter cover crops on soybean yield and colony-forming (CFU) units of Macrophomina phaseolina, the causal agent of charcoal rot (CR), are poorly understood. A field trial was conducted from 2011 to 2015 to evaluate (i) the impact of crop rotation consisting of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) following cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), soybean following corn (Zea mays L.), and soybean following soybean over a 2-year rotation and its interaction with cover crop and (ii) the impact of different cover crops on a continuous soybean crop over a 5-year period. This trial was conducted in a field with 10 subsequent years of cover crop and rotation treatments. Cover crops consisted of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and Austrian winter pea (Pisum sativum L. subsp. sativum var. arvense), hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth), and a fallow treatment was evaluated with and without poultry litter application (bio-cover). Tissue CFU of M. phaseolina varied significantly between crop rotation treatments: plots where soybean was grown following cotton had significantly greater tissue CFU than plots following soybean. Poultry litter and hairy vetch cover cropping caused increased tissue CFU, though this effect differed by year and crop rotation treatment. Soil CFU in 2015 was substantially lower compared with 2011. However, under some crop rotation sequences, plots in the fallow treatment had significantly greater soil CFU than plots where hairy vetch and wheat was grown as a cover crop. Yield was greater in 2015 compared with 2011. There was a significant interaction of the previous crop in the rotation with year, and greater yield was observed in plots planted following cotton in the rotation in 2015 but not in 2011. The result from the continuous soybean planted over 5 years showed that there were no significant overall effects of any of the cover crop treatments nor was there interaction between cover crop treatment and year on yield. The lack of significant interaction between crop rotation and cover crop and the absence of significant differences between cover crop treatments in continuous soybean planting suggest that cover crop recommendations for midsouthern soybean growers may need to be independent of crop rotation and be based on long-term crop needs.

Abstract
WNK kinases are a unique class of serine/threonine protein kinases that lack a conserved catalytic lysine residue in the kinase domain, hence the name WNK (with no K, i.e., lysine). WNK kinases are involved in various physiological processes in plants, such as circadian rhythm, flowering time, and stress responses. In this study, we identified 26 WNK genes in soybean and analyzed their phylogenetic relationships, gene structures, chromosomal distribution, cis-regulatory elements, expression patterns, and conserved protein motifs. The soybean WNK genes were unevenly distributed on 15 chromosomes and underwent 21 segmental duplication events during evolution. We detected 14 types of cis-regulatory elements in the promoters of the WNK genes, indicating their potential involvement in different signaling pathways. The transcriptome database revealed tissue-specific and salt stress-responsive expression of WNK genes in soybean, the second of which was confirmed by salt treatments and qRT-PCR analysis. We found that most WNK genes were significantly up-regulated by salt stress within 3 h in both roots and leaves, except for WNK5, which showed a distinct expression pattern. Our findings provide valuable insights into the molecular characteristics and evolutionary history of the soybean WNK gene family and lay a foundation for further analysis of WNK gene functions in soybean.

Abstract
Nucleotidyl transferases (NTPs) are common transferases in eukaryotes and play a crucial role in nucleotide modifications at the 3' end of RNA. In plants, NTPs can regulate RNA stability by influencing 3' end modifications, which in turn affect plant growth, development, stress responses, and disease resistance. Although the functions of NTP family members have been extensively studied in Arabidopsis, rice, and maize, there is limited knowledge about NTP genes in soybeans. In this study, we identified 16 members of the NTP family in soybeans, including two subfamilies (G1 and G2) with distinct secondary structures, conserved motifs, and domain distributions at the protein level. Evolutionary analysis of genes in the NTP family across multiple species and gene collinearity analysis revealed a relatively conserved evolutionary pattern. Analysis of the tertiary structure of the proteins showed that NTPs have three conserved aspartic acids that bind together to form a possible active site. Tissue-specific expression analysis indicated that some NTP genes exhibit tissue-specific expression, likely due to their specific functions. Stress expression analysis showed significant differences in the expression levels of NTP genes under high salt, drought, and cold stress. Additionally, RNA-seq analysis of soybean plants subjected to salt and drought stress further confirmed the association of soybean NTP genes with abiotic stress responses. Subcellular localization experiments revealed that GmNTP2 and GmNTP14, which likely have similar functions to HESO1 and URT1, are located in the nucleus. These research findings provide a foundation for further investigations into the functions of NTP family genes in soybeans.

Abstract
Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) isoflavones are among the most important secondary metabolites, with functional benefits for human health. Soybeans accumulate three aglycone forms of isoflavones: genistein, daidzein, and glycitein. Soybean landrace Kumachi-1 does not accumulate malonylglycitin at all. Gene structure analysis indicated that Glyma.11G108300 (F6H4) of Kumachi-1 has a 3.8-kbp insertion, resulting in a truncated flavonoid 6-hydroxylase (F6H) sequence compared to the wild-type sequence in Fukuyutaka. Mapping experiments using a mutant line (MUT1246) with a phenotype similar to that of Kumachi-1, with a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in F6H4, revealed co-segregation of this mutation and the absence of glycitein isoflavones. We also identified a mutant line (K01) that exhibited a change in the HPLC retention time of glycitein isoflavones, accumulating glycoside and malonylglycoside forms of 6-hydroxydaidzein. K01 contains an SNP that produces a premature stop codon in Glyma.01G004200 (IOMT3), a novel soybean isoflavone O-methyltransferase (IOMT) gene. We further analyzed transgenic hairy roots of soybeans expressing Glyma.11G108300 (F6H4) and Glyma.01G004200 (IOMT3). Those overexpressing F6H4 accumulated malonylglycoside forms of 6-hydroxydaidzein (M_6HD), and co-expression of F6H4 and IOMT3 increased the level of malonylglycitin but not of M_6HD. These results indicate that F6H4 and IOMT3 are responsible for glycitein biosynthesis in soybean seed hypocotyl.

Abstract
Microplastic accumulation in the soil-plant system can stress plants and affect products quality. Currently, studies on the effect of microplastics on plants are not consistent and underlying molecular mechanisms are yet unknown. Here for the first time, we performed a study to explore the molecular mechanism underlying the growth of soybean plants in soil contaminated with various types of microplastics (PS and HDPE) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) (presence/absence). Our results revealed that a dose-dependent decline was observed in plant growth, chlorophyll content, and yield of soybean under MPs stress. The addition of MPs resulted in oxidative stress closely related to hydrogen peroxide generation (H2O2), methylglyoxal (MG) levels, lipid peroxidation (MDA), and lipoxygenase (LOX). In contrast, MPs addition enhanced mycorrhizal colonization and dependency relative to control while the rubisco and root activity declined. All the genes (GmHMA13 and GmHMA19) were downregulated in the presence of MPs except GmHMA18 in roots. AMF inoculation alleviated MPs-induced phytotoxic effects on colonization, rubisco activity, root activity and restored the growth of soybean. Under MPs exposure, AMF inoculation induced plant defense system via improved regulation of antioxidant enzymes, ascorbate, glutathione pool, and glyoxalase system. AMF upregulated the genes responsible for metals uptake in soybean under MPs stress. The antioxidant and glyoxalase systems coordinated regulation expressively inhibited the oxidative and carbonyl stress at both MPs types. Hence, AMF inoculation may be considered an effective approach for minimizing MPs toxicity and its adverse effects on growth of soybean grown on MPs-contaminated soils.

Abstract
In addition to rhizobia, many types of co-existent bacteria are found in leguminous root nodules, but their habitats are unclear. To investigate this phenomenon, we labeled Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens USDA122 and Bradyrhizobium sp. SSBR45 with Discosoma sp. red fluorescent protein (DsRed) or enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP). USDA122 enhances soybean growth by forming effective root nodules, but SSBR45 does not form any nodules. Using low-magnification laser scanning confocal microscopy, we found that infected cells in the central zone of soybean nodules appeared to be occupied by USDA122. Notably, high-magnification microscopy after co-inoculation of non-fluorescent USDA122 and fluorescence-labeled SSBR45 also revealed that SSBR45 inhabits the intercellular spaces of healthy nodules. More unexpectedly, co-inoculation of eGFP-labeled USDA122 and DsRed-labeled SSBR45 (and vice versa) revealed the presence of USDA122 bacteria in both the symbiosomes of infected cells and in the apoplasts of healthy nodules. We then next inspected nodules formed after a mixed inoculation of differently-labeled USDA122, without SSBR45, and confirmed the inhabitation of the both populations of USDA122 in the intercellular spaces. In contrast, infected cells were occupied by single-labeled USDA122. We also observed Mesorhizobium loti in the intercellular spaces of active wild-type nodules of Lotus japonicus using transmission electron microscopy. Compatible intercellular rhizobia have been described during nodule formation of several legume species and in some mutants, but our evidence suggests that this type of colonization may occur much more commonly in leguminous root nodules.

Abstract
MAIN CONCLUSION The ex vitro hairy root system from petioles of detached soybean leaves allows the functional validation of genes using classical transgenesis and CRISPR strategies (e.g., sgRNA validation, gene activation) associated with nematode bioassays. Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated root transformation has been widely used in soybean for the functional validation of target genes in classical transgenesis and single-guide RNA (sgRNA) in CRISPR-based technologies. Initial data showed that in vitro hairy root induction from soybean cotyledons and hypocotyls were not the most suitable strategies for simultaneous performing genetic studies and nematode bioassays. Therefore, an ex vitro hairy root system was developed for in planta screening of target molecules during soybean parasitism by root-knot nematodes (RKNs). Applying this method, hairy roots were successfully induced by A. rhizogenes from petioles of detached soybean leaves. The soybean GmPR10 and GmGST genes were then constitutively overexpressed in both soybean hairy roots and tobacco plants, showing a reduction in the number of Meloidogyne incognita-induced galls of up to 41% and 39%, respectively. In addition, this system was evaluated for upregulation of the endogenous GmExpA and GmExpLB genes by CRISPR/dCas9, showing high levels of gene activation and reductions in gall number of up to 58.7% and 67.4%, respectively. Furthermore, morphological and histological analyses of the galls were successfully performed. These collective data validate the ex vitro hairy root system for screening target genes, using classical overexpression and CRISPR approaches, directly in soybean in a simple manner and associated with nematode bioassays. This system can also be used in other root pathosystems for analyses of gene function and studies of parasite interactions with plants, as well as for other purposes such as studies of root biology and promoter characterization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chitosan biopolymer is an emerging non-toxic and biodegradable plant elicitor or bio-stimulant. Chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) have been used for the enhancement of plant growth and development. On the other hand, NO is an important signaling molecule that regulates several aspects of plant physiology under normal and stress conditions. Here we report the synthesis, characterization, and use of chitosan-GSNO nanoparticles for improving drought stress tolerance in soybean. RESULTS The CSGSNONPs released NO gas for a significantly longer period and at a much lower rate as compared to free GSNO indicating that incorporation of GSNO in CSNPs can protect the NO-donor from rapid decomposition and ensure optimal NO release. CS-GSNONPs improved drought tolerance in soybean plants reflected by a significant increase in plant height, biomass, root length, root volume, root surface area, number of root tips, forks, and nodules. Further analyses indicated significantly lower electrolyte leakage, higher proline content, higher catalase, and ascorbate peroxidase activity, and reduction in MDA and H2O2 contents after treatment with 50 μM CS-GSNONPs under drought stress conditions. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis indicated that CS-GSNONPs protected against drought-induced stress by regulating the expression of drought stress-related marker genes such as GmDREB1a, GmP5CS, GmDEFENSIN, and NO-related genes GmGSNOR1 and GmNOX1. CONCLUSIONS This study highlights the potential of nano-technology-based delivery systems for nitric oxide donors to improve plant growth, and development and protect against stresses.

Abstract
Plant growth and morphogenesis are determined by the mechanical properties of its cell walls. Using atomic force microscopy, we have characterized the dynamics of cell wall elasticity in different tissues in developing roots of several plant species. The elongation growth zone of roots of all species studied was distinguished by a reduced modulus of elasticity of most cell walls compared to the meristem or late elongation zone. Within the individual developmental zones of roots, there were also significant differences in the elasticity of the cell walls of the different tissues, thus identifying the tissues that limit root growth in the different species. In cereals, this is mainly the inner cortex, whereas in dicotyledons this function is performed by the outer tissues-rhizodermis and cortex. These differences result in a different behaviour of the roots of these species during longitudinal dissection. Modelling of longitudinal root dissection using measured properties confirmed the difference shown. Thus, the morphogenesis of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous roots relies on different tissues as growth limiting, which should be taken into account when analyzing the localization of associated molecular events. At the same time, no matrix polysaccharide was found whose immunolabelling in type I or type II cell walls would predict their mechanical properties. However, assessment of the degree of anisotropy of cortical microtubules showed a striking correlation with the elasticity of the corresponding cell walls in all species studied.

Abstract
Crop rotation and rhizobial inoculation are strategies to increase yield by means of organic matter addition and modulation of microbial diversity. However, the extent to which these agricultural practices change soil Bradyrhizobium populations, soybean grain yield, and economic benefits to farmers is unclear. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the interaction between crop rotation and inoculation of soybean (Glycine max) cultivated in two contrasting soils (clayey and sandy soil) on biological nitrogen fixation components, grain yields, and profits. Field experiments with a three-year crop rotation system were carried out to compare effects of inoculation and crop rotations on soil chemical attributes, bradyrhizobia most probable number (MPN) and diversity, soybean nodulation, grain yield, and economic indicators of inoculation in different crop rotations. The crop rotation did not affect the soil MPN cells of bradyrhizobia, but the inoculation and the soil sampling time did, ranging from 3.61-4.42 to 4.40-4.82 in the sandy soil, while in the clayey soil they were from 5.19-6.34 to 6.61-7.14 in Log10 per g of soil with higher population after harvest of summer crops. In the clayey soil, crop rotation influenced soybean nodulation. The grain yield of inoculated soybean in the clayey soil was higher than that in the sandy soil. Soybean inoculation with Bradyrhizobium spp. increased the profitability of agricultural production systems by up to 45% in clayey soil and up to 7% in sandy soil.

Abstract
Hybrid breeding for increased vigour has been used for over a century to boost agricultural outputs without requiring higher inputs. While this approach has led to some of the most substantial gains in crop productivity, breeding barriers have fundamentally limited soybean (Glycine max) from reaping the benefits of hybrid vigour. Soybean flowers self-pollinate prior to opening and thus are not readily amenable to outcrossing. In this study, we demonstrate that the barnase/barstar male sterility/rescue system can be used in soybean to produce hybrid seeds. By expressing the cytotoxic ribonuclease, barnase, under a tapetum-specific promoter in soybean anthers, we are able to completely block pollen maturation, creating male sterile plants. We show that fertility can be rescued in the F1 generation of these barnase-expressing lines when they are crossed with pollen from plants that express the barnase inhibitor, barstar. Importantly, we found that the successful rescue of male fertility is dependent on the relative dosage of barnase and barstar. When barnase and barstar were expressed under the same tapetum-specific promoter, the F1 offspring remained male sterile. When we expressed barstar under a relatively stronger promoter than barnase, we were able to achieve a successful rescue of male fertility in the F1 generation. This work demonstrates the successful implementation of a biotechnology approach to produce fertile hybrid offspring in soybean.

Abstract
Autophagy plays a critical role in nutrient recycling/re-utilizing under nutrient deprivation conditions. However, the role of autophagy in soybeans has not been intensively investigated. In this study, the Autophay-related gene 7 (ATG7) gene in soybeans (referred to as GmATG7) was silenced using a virus-induced gene silencing approach mediated by Bean pod mottle virus (BPMV). Our results showed that ATG8 proteins were highly accumulated in the dark-treated leaves of the GmATG7-silenced plants relative to the vector control leaves (BPMV-0), which is indicative of an impaired autophagy pathway. Consistent with the impaired autophagy, the dark-treated GmATG7-silenced leaves displayed an accelerated senescence phenotype, which was not seen on the dark-treated BPMV-0 leaves. In addition, the accumulation levels of both H2O2 and salicylic acid (SA) were significantly induced in the GmATG7-silenced plants compared with the BPMV-0 plants, indicating an activated immunity. Consistently, the GmATG7-silenced plants were more resistant against both Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea (Psg) and Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) compared with the BPMV-0 plants. However, the activated immunity in the GmATG7-silenced plant was not dependent upon the activation of MPK3/MPK6. Collectively, our results demonstrated that the function of GmATG7 is indispensable for autophagy in soybeans, and the activated immunity in the GmATG7-silenced plant is a result of impaired autophagy.

Abstract
Expression of quantitative disease resistance in many host-pathogen systems is controlled by genes at multiple loci, each contributing a small effect to the overall response. We used a systems genomics approach to study the molecular underpinnings of quantitative disease resistance in the soybean-Phytophthora sojae pathosystem, incorporating expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) mapping and gene co-expression network analysis to identify the genes putatively regulating transcriptional changes in response to inoculation. These findings were compared to previously mapped phenotypic (phQTL) to identify the molecular mechanisms contributing to the expression of this resistance. A subset of 93 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from a Conrad × Sloan population were inoculated with P. sojae isolate 1.S.1.1 using the tray-test method; RNA was extracted, sequenced, and the normalized read counts were genetically mapped from tissue collected at the inoculation site 24 h after inoculation from both mock and inoculated samples. In total, more than 100,000 eQTLs were mapped. There was a switch from predominantly cis-eQTLs in the mock treatment to an almost entirely nonoverlapping set of predominantly trans-eQTLs in the inoculated treatment, where greater than 100-fold more eQTLs were mapped relative to mock, indicating vast transcriptional reprogramming due to P. sojae infection occurred. The eQTLs were organized into 36 hotspots, with the four largest hotspots from the inoculated treatment corresponding to more than 70% of the eQTLs, each enriched for genes within plant-pathogen interaction pathways. Genetic regulation of trans-eQTLs in response to the pathogen was predicted to occur through transcription factors and signaling molecules involved in plant-pathogen interactions, plant hormone signal transduction, and MAPK pathways. Network analysis identified three co-expression modules that were correlated with susceptibility to P. sojae and associated with three eQTL hotspots. Among the eQTLs co-localized with phQTLs, two cis-eQTLs with putative functions in the regulation of root architecture or jasmonic acid, as well as the putative master regulators of an eQTL hotspot nearby a phQTL, represent candidates potentially underpinning the molecular control of these phQTLs for resistance.

Abstract
Soil management systems can directly interfere with crop yield via changes in the soil's physical and hydraulic properties. However, short- to medium-term experiments of conduction do not always demonstrate the modifications of the management systems in these properties. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the physical properties of the soil in a long-term management system and to relate it to the storage and availability of water to plants, verifying its effect on soybean yield. The experiment was conducted in randomized blocks in a split-plot scheme with four replications. Plots were composed by soil management (conventional tillage and no-tillage), and subplots represented three soil depths (0.0-0.1, 0.1-0.2, and 0.2-0.4 m). The soil's physical and hydraulic properties, root development, and soybean yield were evaluated. The no-tillage system not only presented higher bulk density and soil resistance to compaction up to a depth of 0.2 m but also greater root development. This management also did not affect the process of water infiltration in the soil and presented an increase in soybean grain yield by 6.5%. The long-term no-tillage system (33 years) offers less risk of water stress to soybean plants; it contributes to greater grain yield of this crop when compared to the conventional tillage system.

Abstract
Plants being sessile organisms and lacking both circulating phagocytic cells and somatic adaptive immune response, have thrived on various defense mechanisms to fend off insect pests and invasion of pathogens. CYP450s are the versatile enzymes, which thwart plants against insect pests by ubiquitous biosynthesis of phytohormones, antioxidants, and secondary metabolites, utilizing them as feeding deterrents and direct toxins. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis of biotic stress-responsive CYPs from Glycine max was performed to ascertain their function against S. litura-infestation. Phylogenetic analysis and evolutionary studies on conserved domains and motifs disclosed the evolutionary correspondence of these GmCYPs with already characterized members of the CYP450 superfamily and close relatedness to Medicago truncatula. These GmCYPs were mapped on 13 chromosomes; they possess 1-8 exons; they have evolved due to duplication and are localized in endoplasmic reticulumn. Further, identification of methyl-jasmonate, salicylic acid, defense responsive and flavonoid biosynthesis regulating cis-acting elements, their interaction with biotic stress regulating proteins and their differential expression in diverse types of tissues, and during herbivory, depicted their responsiveness to biotic stress. Three-dimensional homology modelling of GmCYPs, docking with heme cofactor required for their catalytic activity and enzyme-substrate interactions were performed to understand the functional mechanism of their action. Moreover, to gain insight into their involvement in plant defense, gene expression analysis was evaluated, which revealed differential expression of 11 GmCYPs upon S. litura-infestation, 12 GmCYPs on wounding while foliar spray of ethylene, methyl-jasmonate and salicylic acid differentially regulated 11 GmCYPs, 6 GmCYPs, and 10 GmCYPs respectively. Our study comprehensively analysed the underlying mechanism of GmCYPs function during S. litura-infestation, which can be further utilized for functional characterization to develop new strategies for enhancing soybean resistance to insect pests.

Abstract
Soybean is one of the most crucial beans in the world. Although Mn (manganese) is a kind of important nutritive element helpful to plant growth and health, excess Mn is harmful to crops. Nevertheless, the effect of Mn toxicity on soybean roots and leaves metabolism is still not clear. To explore this, water culture experiments were conducted on the development, activity of enzyme, and metabolic process of soybeans under varying levels of Mn treatment (5 and 100 μM). Compared with the control, the soybeans under Mn stress showed inhibited growth and development. Moreover, the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and the soluble protein content in leaves and roots of soybean were all increased. However, soluble sugar and proline contents in soybean roots and leaves showed the opposite trend. In addition, the Mg (magnesium) and Fe (iron) ion contents in soybean leaves significantly decreased, and the Mn ion content greatly increased. In roots, the Mn and Fe ion content increased, whereas the Mg ion content decreased. Furthermore, the metabolomic analysis based on nontargeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry identified 136 and 164 differential metabolites (DMs) that responded to Mn toxicity in roots and leaves of soybean, respectively. These DMs might participate in five different primary metabolic pathways in soybean leaves and roots, suggesting that soybean leaves and roots demonstrate different kinds of reactions in response to Mn toxicity. These findings indicate that Mn toxicity will result in enzymes activity being changed and the metabolic pathway being seriously affected, hence inhibiting the development of soybean.

Abstract
Soybean is a leguminous plant cultivated in many countries and is considered important in the food industry due to the high levels of oil and protein content in the beans. The high demand for soybeans and its products in the industry requires the expansion of cultivation areas. Despite climatic restrictions, West Siberia is gradually expanding its area of soybean cultivation. In this study, we present the first analysis of the population structure and genetic diversity of the 175 soybean Glycine max breeding lines and varieties cultivated in West Siberia (103 accessions) and other regions of Russia (72 accessions), and we compare them with the cultivated soybean varieties from other geographical locations. Principal component analysis revealed several genetic clusters with different levels of genetic heterogeneity. Studied accessions are genetically similar to varieties from China, Japan, and the USA and are genetically distant to varieties from South Korea. Admixture analysis revealed four ancestry groups based on genetic ancestry and geographical origin, which are consistent with the regions of cultivation and origin of accessions and correspond to the principal component analysis result. Population statistics, including nucleotide diversity, Tajima's D, and linkage disequilibrium, are comparatively similar to those observed for studied accessions of a different origin. This study provides essential population and genetic information about the unique collection of breeding lines and varieties cultivated in West Siberia and other Russian regions to foster further evolutionary, genome-wide associations and functional breeding studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND p-Aminobenzoic acid (pABA) is an environmentally friendly bioactive metabolite synthesized by Lysobacter antibioticus. This compound showed an unusual antifungal mode of action based on cytokinesis inhibition. However, the potential antibacterial properties of pABA remain unexplored. RESULTS In this study, pABA showed antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria. This metabolite inhibited growth (EC50 = 4.02 mM), and reduced swimming motility, extracellular protease activity, and biofilm formation in the soybean pathogen Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines (Xag). Although pABA was previously reported to inhibit fungal cell division, no apparent effect was observed on Xag cell division genes. Instead, pABA reduced the expression of various membrane integrity-related genes, such as cirA, czcA, czcB, emrE, and tolC. Consistently, scanning electron microscopy observations revealed that pABA caused major alternations in Xag morphology and blocked the formation of bacterial consortiums. In addition, pABA reduced the content and profile of outer membrane proteins and lipopolysaccharides in Xag, which may explain the observed effects. Preventive and curative applications of 10 mM pABA reduced Xag symptoms in soybean plants by 52.1% and 75.2%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The antibacterial properties of pABA were studied for the first time, revealing new insights into its potential application for the management of bacterial pathogens. Although pABA was previously reported to show an antifungal mode of action based on cytokinesis inhibition, this compound inhibited Xag growth by altering the outer membrane's integrity. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Seed storage compound deposition is influenced by both maternal and filial tissues. Within this framework, we analyzed strategies that operate during the development and filling of soybean embryos, using in vitro culture systems combined with metabolomics and proteomics approaches. The carbon:nitrogen ratio (C:N) of the maternal supply and the hormone abscisic acid (ABA) are specific and interacting signals inducing differential metabolic reprogrammings linked to changes in the accumulation of storage macromolecules like proteins or oils. Differences in the abundance of sugars, amino acids, enzymes, transporters, transcription factors, and proteins involved in signaling were detected. Embryos adapted to the nutritional status by enhancing the metabolism of both carbon and nitrogen under lower C:N ratio condition or only carbon under higher C:N ratio condition. ABA turned off multiple pathways especially in high availability of amino acids, prioritizing the storage compounds biosynthesis. Common responses induced by ABA involved increased sucrose uptake (to increase the sink force) and oleosin (oil body structural component) accumulation. In turn, ABA differentially promoted protein degradation under lower nitrogen supply in order to sustain the metabolic demands. Further, the operation of a citrate shuttle was suggested by transcript quantification and enzymatic activity measurements. The results obtained are useful to help define biotechnological tools and technological approaches to improve oil and protein yields, with direct impact on human and animal nutrition as well as in green chemistry.

Abstract
Nitrogen (N) is the most extracted and exported element by the soybean crop. In high yield tropical environments with irrigation, little is known about N accumulation in different soybean plant organs as well as the N balance. The objective of this study was to characterize soybean growth, N accumulation in plant organs, N balance, and N gap in a high yield tropical environment. This study was performed in a homogeneous field, in a soil with low organic matter, with 20 kg ha-1 of N, under furrow fertilization. Evaluations were performed ten times, temporally distributed from emergence to senescence. The soybean cultivar used was 'RK7518 IPRO' and was sown with row spacing of 0.45 m and a seeding rate of 300,000 plants ha-1. Plant N partition, N from the biological N fixation (BNF), grain yield, crop harvest index (HI), N harvest index (NHI) with and without root contribution were evaluated. Also, at the grain filling stage the N gap was evaluated from the soil by difference between whole plant accumulated N and the amount of N from BNF. The average grain yield was 6,470 kg ha-1 and leads to a negative partial balance of N of -33.4 and -42.8 kg[N] ha-1 with and without roots, respectively. The N gap from the soil was 231.7 kg[N] ha-1. It is recommended to adopt techniques that increase the efficiency of BNF and the soil N accumulation to balance these production systems in the medium to long term.

Abstract
In general, plant organ size is determined using cell number and expansion. In our previous study, we generated soybean (Glycine max) mutants of the PEAPOD (PPD) genes GmPPD1 and GmPPD2 using the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated endonuclease 9 system. Some of these mutants exhibited extremely abnormal phenotypes, such as twisted pods and limited seeds. These phenotypes were attributed to the frameshift mutation in both GmPPD loci. In this study, the physiological and molecular biological properties of mutant plants with two knocked-out GmPPD loci (ppd-KO) were characterized. The ppd-KO mutant exhibited a delayed growth phase from the time of development of the unifoliolate leaves to that of first trifoliolate leaves and a stay-green phenotype, which were not observed in the other mutants of soybean or ppd mutants of other plant species. Gene expression analysis revealed considerably decreased expression of SPIRAL1-LIKE 5 (GmSP1L5), mainly causing the twisted pod phenotype observed in the ppd-KO mutant. The relationship between PPD and SP1L5 has not been previously reported, and in this study, we showed that that loss of PPD functioning affects SP1L5 expression in soybean. In this study, we revealed that the decrease in PPD function contributed to organ enlargement and that complete knockout of PPD has a negative effect on soybean organogenesis.

Abstract
Genetic improvement of soybean seed traits is important for developing new varieties that meet the demand for soybean as a food, forage crop, and industrial products. A large number of soybean genome sequences are currently publicly available. This genome sequence information provides a significant opportunity to design genomic approaches to improve soybean traits. Genome editing represents a major advancement in biotechnology. The production of soybean mutants through genome editing is commonly achieved with either an Agrobacterium-mediated or biolistic transformation platform, which have been optimized for various soybean genotypes. Currently, the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated endonuclease 9 (Cas9) system, which represents a major advance in genome editing, is used to improve soybean traits, such as fatty acid composition, protein content and composition, flavor, digestibility, size, and seed-coat color. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the improvement of soybean seed traits through genome editing. We also discuss the characteristics of genome editing using the CRISPR/Cas9 system with transformation platforms.

Abstract
Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is an important source of plant protein, the nutritional quality of which is considerably affected by the content of the sulfur-containing amino acid, methionine (Met). To improve the quality of soybean protein and increase the Met content in seeds, soybean cystathionine γ-synthase 2 (GmCGS2), the first unique enzyme in Met biosynthesis, was overexpressed in the soybean cultivar "Jack", producing three transgenic lines (OE3, OE4, and OE10). We detected a considerable increase in the content of free Met and other free amino acids in the developing seeds of the three transgenic lines at the 15th and 75th days after flowering (15D and 75D). In addition, transcriptome analysis showed that the expression of genes related to Met biosynthesis from the aspartate-family pathway and S-methyl Met cycle was promoted in developing green seeds of OE10. Ultimately, the accumulation of total amino acids and soluble proteins in transgenic mature seeds was promoted. Altogether, these results indicated that GmCGS2 plays an important role in Met biosynthesis, by providing a basis for improving the nutritional quality of soybean seeds.

Abstract
We report the optimization of a high-throughput, compliant DNA extraction method that uses standard format 96-well plates and a commercial automated DNA purification system (ABI PRISM® 6100 Nucleic Acid PrepStation). The procedure was set up for maize and soybean, the most common GMO crops and the main ingredients of several foodstuffs, and compared with an EU-validated CTAB-based method. Optimization of the DNA extraction was achieved by applying self-prepared buffers (for DNA extraction, binding, and washing) on the PrepStation loaded with proprietary glass-fiber-coated purification plates. Quantification of extracted DNA was performed by real-time PCR using previously reported endogenous soybean lectin and maize starch synthase genes and a novel plant-specific universal TaqMan MGB probe that targets the 18S rRNA multiple copy gene. Using serial dilutions of both maize and soybean genomic DNAs, we show low PCR sensitivity and efficiency for the official TransPrep DNA extraction protocol compared to the CTAB-based one. On the other hand, using serial dilutions of a standard reference plasmid containing a 137 bp sequence cloned from the 18S rRNA plant-specific ribosomal gene, we demonstrate the high PCR sensitivity and efficiency of the optimized DNA extraction protocol setup with self-prepared buffers. The limits of detection and quantification of the 18S rDNA reiteration were consistent with the calculated values, supporting the suitability of the DNA extraction procedure for high-throughput analyses of large populations and small amounts of tissue.

Abstract
The interaction of microplastics (MPs) and heavy metals (HMs) can lead to aggravation of detrimental effects in the plants, animals, and even human beings. Keeping this in view, the present study was designed to assess the combined toxic effects of polyethylene MPs (PE-MPs) and cadmium (Cd) on germination indices and seedling growth of soybean (Glycine max). Particle sizes of 13 and 6.5 μm and six treatments (control, Cd, 6.5 μm PE, 6.5 μm PE + Cd, 13 μm PE, and 13 μm PE + Cd) were set to simulate the effects of PE-MPs and Cd on the growth of soybean when used alone or in combined form. As compared to the control, 6.5 μm PE treatment showed significant effect on most of the germination indices, i.e., decrease in the germination index by 31%, 44% decrease in the vigor index, and 28% decrease in germination rate whereas mean germination time showed no significant differences. Treatment of smaller-size PE-MPs and Cd significantly inhibited both dry and fresh weights. All treatment groups resulted in significant effect on catalase, peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase activities of seedlings depicting adverse effects of interaction of PE-MPs and Cd. Our findings demonstrated the phyto-toxicity of PE-MPs and Cd in G. max, and it would lead to serious implications in human beings. Our study is important as it provides preliminary information regarding MP absorption and their accumulation in different levels of food chain. It can also form the basis for future research on single the combined effects of different types and sizes of MPs and heavy metals on the terrestrial plants.

Abstract
Identifying cultivars of leguminous crops exhibiting drought resistance has become crucial in addressing water scarcity issues. This investigative study aimed to select soybean and cowpea cultivars with enhanced potential to grow under water restriction during the vegetative stage. Two parallel trials were conducted using seven soybean (AS3810IPRO, M8644IPRO, TMG1180RR, NS 8338IPRO, BMX81I81IPRO, M8808IPRO, and BÔNUS8579IPRO) and cowpea cultivars (Aracê, Novaera, Pajeú, Pitiúba, Tumucumaque, TVU, and Xique-xique) under four water levels (75, 60, 45, and 30% field capacity-FC) over 21 days. Growth, water content, membrane damage, photosynthetic pigments, organic compounds, and proline levels were analyzed. Drought stress significantly impacted the growth of both crops, particularly at 45 and 30% FC for soybean and 60 and 45% FC for cowpea plants. The BÔNUS8579IPRO and TMG1180RR soybean cultivars demonstrated the highest performance under drought, a response attributed to increased amino acids and proline contents, which likely help to mitigate membrane damage. For cowpea, the superior performance of the drought-stressed Xique-xique cultivar was associated with the maintenance of water content and elevated photosynthetic pigments, which contributed to the preservation of the photosynthetic efficiency and carbohydrate levels. Our findings clearly indicate promising leguminous cultivars that grow under water restriction, serving as viable alternatives for cultivating in water-limited environments.

Abstract
Dongfudou 3 is a highly sought-after soybean variety due to its lack of beany flavor. To support molecular breeding efforts, we conducted a genomic survey using next-generation sequencing. We determined the genome size, complexity, and characteristics of Dongfudou 3. Furthermore, we constructed a chromosome-level draft genome and speculated on the molecular basis of protein deficiency in GmLOX1, GmLOX2, and GmLOX3. These findings set the stage for high-quality genome analysis using third-generation sequencing. The estimated genome size is approximately 1.07 Gb, with repetitive sequences accounting for 72.50%. The genome is homozygous and devoid of microbial contamination. The draft genome consists of 916.00 Mb anchored onto 20 chromosomes, with annotations of 46,446 genes and 77,391 transcripts, achieving Benchmarking Single-Copy Orthologue (BUSCO) completeness of 99.5% for genome completeness and 99.1% for annotation. Deletions and substitutions were identified in the three GmLox genes, and they also lack corresponding active proteins. Our proposed approach, involving k-mer analysis after filtering out organellar DNA sequences, is applicable to genome surveys of all plant species, allowing for accurate assessments of size and complexity. Moreover, the process of constructing chromosome-level draft genomes using closely related reference genomes offers cost-effective access to valuable information, maximizing data utilization.

Abstract
Soybean (Glycine max) is an increasingly relevant crop due to its economic importance and also a model plant for the study of root symbiotic associations with nodule forming rhizobia. Plant polyesters mediate plant-microbe interactions with both pathogenic and beneficial microbes; suberin has been hypothesized to play a key role during the early steps of rhizobia attachment to the root. The downside is that suberin chemistry in soybean root is still scarcely studied. This study addresses this outstanding question by reporting a straightforward workflow for a speedy purification of suberin from soybean root and for its subsequent detailed chemical analysis. To purify suberin, cholinium hexanoate (an ionic liquid) was used as the catalyst. The ensuing suberin is highly esterified as observed by a precise Nuclear Magnetic Resonance quantification of each ester type, discriminating between primary and acylglycerol esters. Moreover, the composing hydrolysable monomers detected through GC-MS revealed that hexadecanoic acid is the most abundant monomer, similar to that reported before by others. Overall, this study highlights the adequacy of the ionic liquid catalyst for the isolation of suberin from soybean roots, where the polymer natural abundance is low, and builds new knowledge on the specificities of its chemistry; essential to better understand the biological roles of suberin in roots.

Abstract
Quinone outside inhibitor (QoI) fungicides have been widely used to manage diseases of soybean including target spot caused by Corynespora cassiicola. However, resistance to QoI fungicides has recently been reported within the C. cassiicola population from Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee as a result of isolates in the population containing the G143A amino acid substitution. Therefore, the relative fitness and stability of isolates containing the G143A substitution compared with wild-type C. cassiicola isolates from Mississippi soybean were investigated by analyzing several fitness parameters in vitro. In addition, in vivo virulence assays were conducted in the greenhouse on a target spot-susceptible cultivar. The evaluations of fitness considered the difference between isolates from the wild-type and G143A-containing genotypes by evaluating colony growth parameters following the first and the 10th subcultures on microbiological media. When considered as an average of all G143A-containing isolates, the G143A-containing isolates following the 10th subculture produced 6.2% greater colony diameter growth but produced 2.3% less conidia. Conversely, over the same period, wild-type isolates produced 6.7% less colony growth but produced 10.9% more conidia. Based on our results, the C. cassiicola isolates that contained the G143A substitution appear stable since successive subculturing did not significantly affect the measured fitness parameters. The lack of fitness cost accompanying the genotypic shift to the G143A amino acid substitution which confers fungicide resistance in C. cassiicola indicates that these isolates may have fitness advantages and may remain stable in the population as well as displace wild-type isolates with repeated fungicide applications of QoI-containing products.

Abstract
Anthracnose has become one of the main threats to soybean production and is considered the most important disease in some soybean-producing areas. Colletotrichum truncatum is the species most commonly associated with anthracnose and produces microsclerotia. However, the role of microsclerotia in the epidemiology of soybean anthracnose disease has not yet been described. The aim of this study was to determine whether C. truncatum microsclerotia can survive and maintain pathogenicity for a period of up to 246 days, corresponding to the off-season period of soybean cultivation in Brazil. Therefore, microsclerotia of two pathogenic isolates of C. truncatum (CMES1059 and LFN0297) were produced and placed in polyester bags, which were kept under field conditions either on the soil surface under maize straw or buried 8-cm deep. The bags were collected monthly for a period of up to 246 days to assess the viability of microsclerotia based on their germination and typical colony growth. The logistic regression model was used for data analysis considering viable and nonviable microsclerotia. In addition, periodic sowing of soybean was done in the soil infested with LFN0297 microsclerotia to test pathogenicity up to 246 days after soil infestation. C. truncatum microsclerotia survived from 92 to 246 days in the field soil, with the highest recovery of viable microsclerotia at 153 days. C. truncatum was reisolated from soybean plants sown in infested soil at 245 days postinoculation. The isolates from the last microsclerotia sampling from the field (246 days) and those obtained from a plant at the last sowing date (245 days) had the same genotypic profile for 12 microsatellite loci as the isolates used to perform the experiments. C. truncatum microsclerotia in soil may serve as the primary inoculum for soybean anthracnose.

Abstract
Target spot, caused by Corynespora cassiicola, is a common lower canopy soybean disease in the southern United States. Recently, target spot has resurged in importance especially following the identification of resistance to the quinone outside inhibitor (QoI) fungicides. As a result, a survey of C. cassiicola from soybean throughout Mississippi began in 2018. A total of 819 C. cassiicola monoconidial isolates were obtained from 228 fields in 75 counties. The molecular mechanism of QoI resistance was determined, which resulted from an amino acid substitution from glycine (G) to alanine (A) at position 143 using a PCR-RFLP method and comparing nucleotide sequences of the cytochrome b gene. Five previously defined geographic regions were used to present the distribution of the G143A substitution and included the Capital, Coast, Delta, Hills, and Pines. The Capital had the greatest proportion of G143A-containing isolates (95.0%), followed by the Coast (92.9%), Delta (89.8%), Pines (78.8%), and Hills (69.4%). In all, 85.8% of the C. cassiicola isolates carried the G143A substitution. In addition, the effective fungicide concentration (EC50) of randomly selected C. cassiicola isolates to azoxystrobin was used to characterize isolates as resistant (n = 14) (based on the presence of the G143A substitution and EC50 values >52 μg/ml) or sensitive (n = 11) (based on the absence of the G143A substitution and EC50 values <46 μg/ml). The EC50 values varied among isolates (P < 0.0001), with QoI-sensitive isolates exhibiting lower EC50 values than QoI-resistant isolates. The current study revealed that a reduction in sensitivity to QoI fungicides has likely resulted based on the percentage of C. cassiicola isolates containing the G143A substitution identified in Mississippi.

Abstract
Soil contamination by cadmium (Cd) and degradation by salinity are likely to become one of the most important problems hindering food production and human health. However, their combined effect on crops is still ambiguous. A hydroponic study was made to investigate the separate and combined exposure of 100 µM Cd and 150 µM NaCl on soybeans (Glycine max L.) growth, photosynthetic pigment, and antioxidant systems for 7 days. Both Cd and NaCl, applied separately decreased the seedlings growth, chlorophyll contents and caused oxidative stress. However, the toxic effects of salinity applied alone were more pronounced. Interestingly, combined exposure of Cd and NaCl induced higher decreases in all growth parameters and lipid peroxidation than single exposure suggesting synergistic effects. The results implicate that the phytotoxicity of both stressors can be associated with redox status imbalance. Our finding may provide insight into the physiological mechanisms of heavy metal exposure and salinity stress tolerance in soybeans and suggest that saline stress changes the effects of Cd toxicity on crops in Cd-salt-polluted soils.

Abstract
Herbicides with desiccant actions may be used to anticipate the harvesting of soybean seeds. This technique aims to minimize the negative influence of biotic and abiotic factors on seed physiological quality at the end of the plant cycle. However, forced seed maturation with the application of herbicides can compromise the acquisition of seed quality components, especially longevity. Thus, the objective of this research was to evaluate the physiological quality of soybean seeds subjected to forced maturation with desiccants. The experiment was performed in a completely randomized design, with a treatment consisting of soybean plants subjected to the application of herbicides with desiccant action at stage R7.3 and another that underwent the natural process of maturation, that is, without herbicide application. The herbicide used was Paraquat. Seed germination, vigor (first germination count, dry mass, seedling length, time to reach 50% germination(t50), emergence index, and emergence speed), and longevity(P50) were evaluated. The herbicides did not affect germination (normal seedlings). However, the acquisition of vigor and longevity, and the preservation of seed vigor during storage were affected. Thus, the results indicate that the application of herbicide with desiccant action interrupts the process of acquisition of seed physiological quality, notably longevity in soybean seeds.

Abstract
Soybean is a rich source of vegetal protein for both animal and human consumption. Despite the high levels of protein in soybean seeds, industrial processing to obtain soybean bran significantly decreases the final protein content of the byproducts. To overcome this problem, cultivars with higher protein contents must be developed. However, selecting the target proteins is difficult because of the lack of information on the proteome profile of soybean bran. Therefore, this study obtained the comparative proteomic profiles of both natural coatless seeds and defatted bran from an elite tropical-soybean cultivar. Thus, their extracts were characterized using LC-MS/MS and a total of 550 proteins were identified. Among these, 526 proteins were detected in coatless seeds and 319 proteins in defatted bran. Moreover, a total of 139 proteins were identified as presenting different levels of content in coatless seeds and defatted bran. Among them, only 46 were retained after the seed processing. These proteins were clustered in several important metabolic pathways, such as amino-acid biosynthesis, sugar biosynthesis, and antioxidant activity, meaning that they could act as targets for bioactive products or genome editing to improve protein quality and quantity in soybean grains. These findings can enhance our understanding regarding protein robustness for both soybean crops and the commercial bran improvement because target proteins must remain intact after processing and must be bioactive when overexpressed. Overall, the soybean bran proteomic profile was explored for the first time, providing a valuable catalogue of target proteins that can tolerate the industrial process.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect that Glycine max hydrolyzed with enzymes from Bacillus velezensis KMU01 has on dextran-sulfate-sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in mice. Hydrolysis improves functional health through the bioconversion of raw materials and increase in intestinal absorption rate and antioxidants. Therefore, G. max was hydrolyzed in this study using a food-derived microorganism, and its anti-inflammatory effect was observed. Enzymatically hydrolyzed G. max (EHG) was orally administered once daily for four weeks before DSS treatment. Colitis was induced in mice through the consumption of 5% (w/v) DSS in drinking water for eight days. The results showed that EHG treatment significantly alleviated DSS-induced body weight loss and decreased the disease activity index and colon length. In addition, EHG markedly reduced tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 production, and increased that of IL-10. EHG improved DSS-induced histological changes and intestinal epithelial barrier integrity in mice. Moreover, we found that the abundance of 15 microorganisms changed significantly; that of Proteobacteria and Escherichia coli, which are upregulated in patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, decreased after EHG treatment. These results suggest that EHG has a protective effect against DSS-induced colitis and is a potential candidate for colitis treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Soybean is widely cultivated around the world, including regions with salinity conditions. Salt stress impairs plant physiology and growth, but recent evidence suggests that silicon (Si) is able to mitigate this stressful condition. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate how different strategies of Si application impact on salt stress tolerance of an intermediate Si accumulator species (soybean). Therefore, we applied four treatments: Si-untreated plants (Si 0); foliar spraying at 20 mmol L-1 (Si F); nutritive solution addition at 2.0 mol L-1 (Si R), and combined foliar spraying at 20 mmol L-1 plus nutritive solution at 2.0 mmol L-1 (Si F + R). We investigated how Si application modified growth, leaf gas exchange, photosynthetic pigments, chlorophyll fluorescence, relative water content (RWC), nutrient accumulation, and ion homeostasis of soybean plants submitted to different levels of salt stress (50 and 100 mmol L-1 NaCl). RESULTS Salinity induced an expressive reduction in ion accumulation, plant water status, and growth of soybean, while Si application promoted contrary effects and increased potassium (K+ ) accumulation, water status, photosynthetic pigment content, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, and gas exchange attributes. Additionally, Si application enhanced Si accumulation associated with decreased Na+ uptake and improved morpho-physiological growth. CONCLUSION The use of exogenous Si can be an efficient strategy to attenuate the harmful effects of salt stress in soybean plants. The best application strategy was observed with combined foliar spraying with Si included in the nutritive solution (Si F + R). © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Soybean, a legume native to Southeast Asia, serves many nutritional and medical purposes due to its rich source of phytochemicals and its antioxidant activity. Many animal and in vitro studies have demonstrated its potential impact on dermatologic health. The objective of this review is to investigate the clinical response of soy-based oral supplementation or topical application on dermatologic outcomes. A systematic review of studies assessing soy supplementation or application was performed in January 2023. Databases included PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Natural Medicines, and studies assessing any formulation that included soybean or associated products were included. Thirty studies met the inclusion criteria and are included in the review; 13 of these studies assessed oral supplementation and 17 assessed topical application. Topical and oral supplementation demonstrated efficacious results for a variety of dermatologic parameters, including chronological or photoaging parameters, skin barrier status, hydration, hyperpigmentation, dermal network composition, erythema, hair and nail parameters, acne lesion counts, and vulvar lichen sclerosis scores. Factors associated with aging, such as wrinkle area and depth, were most frequently assessed among the studies, and both topical and oral studies demonstrated efficacy. Effects are likely mediated by dermal compositional changes, such as increased collagen and/or elastic fiber numbers. Transepidermal water loss measurements, an indicator of skin barrier status, were frequently obtained among the studies, although improvement was more likely achieved with topical application compared to oral supplementation. The results of this review highlight the utility of soy-based products for a variety of dermatologic applications, although future studies are required to determine optimal formulations and application routes for intended outcomes.
