Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation 163 metabolites showed significant changes during water stress in soybean roots.
- Observation 93 metabolites showed significant changes during water stress in soybean leaves.
- Observation Coumestrol increased 160-fold in soybean roots, the largest metabolite change, making it a potential drought biomarker.
- Observation About 3,000 genes were strongly up-regulated by drought in soybean.
- Observation ERF, MYB, NAC, bHLH, and WRKY transcription factors, receptor-like kinases and calcium signaling components are potential targets for soybean improvement.
- Observation JMT, LOX1, and ABA1 are jasmonate and abscisic acid biosynthetic genes identified as potential targets for soybean improvement.
- Intervention effect Drought-stressed soybean leaves show reduced mRNA levels of stomatal development genes.
- Intervention effect Leaves formed after drought stress had a 17.56 % reduction in stomatal index.
- Mechanism Reducing stomatal density may improve drought tolerance in soybean.
- Mechanism ABRE, CRT/DRE and a novel GTGCnTGC/G element are suggested to play roles in transcriptional activation under water stress in soybean promoters.
- Intervention effect The promoter activity of GmWRKY17 and GmWRKY67 increased during dehydration and after 20 μM ABA treatment in transformed soybean hairy roots.
