Abstract

Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) is a major constraint on global soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) production, causing substantial economic losses worldwide. Despite these losses, the potential of resistance genes as a solution remains largely unexplored. In this study, the COPPER CHAPERONE FOR SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE (GmCCS) was initially employed as a bait to screen the soybean cDNA library, leading to the identification of a protein homologous to Arabidopsis thaliana COP9 signalosome complex subunit 5B (AtCSN5B), designated as GmCSN5B. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis revealed differential expression of GmCSN5B in the SMV-resistant (Qihuang No.1, QH) and susceptible (Nannong 1138-2, NN) variety following SMV-SC3 strain inoculation. Knockdown of GmCSN5B via Bean pod mottle virus (BPMV)-induced gene silencing (VIGS) significantly enhanced SMV resistance compared to control plants. This work further demonstrated that GmCSN5B can interact with the downstream GmVTC1 protein, which was potentially associated with ascorbic acid (AsA; Vitamin C) synthesis. Moreover, GmVTC1 also responded to SMV infection, and its knockdown led to a reduction in endogenous AsA levels within the host, thereby compromising the plant’s resistance to SMV. Together, these findings suggest that the GmCCS-GmCSN5B-GmVTC1 pathway in soybean modulates host resistance to SMV through the regulation of AsA synthesis.
