- Intervention effect Calcium priming improved soybean seedling length by 3%-8%.
- Intervention effect Calcium priming improved soybean number of nodes by 3%-14%.
- Intervention effect Calcium priming improved soybean SOD activity by 20%.

- Observation Soybean genome contained Arabidopsis SOS protein homologs with 60-80% identity.
- Observation GmSOS orthologs had similar gene structures, close evolutionary relationship and conserved motifs.
- Mechanism Authors infer GmSOS genes may have similar functions to orthologs in other species.
