Aphelenchoides oryzae Yokoo caused a large reduction in rice yields in Japan (1948). It was later synonymised with A. besseyi by Allen (1952), but Subbotin et al.

- - The filamentation temperature-sensitive H (FtsH) gene family is essential for regulating chloroplast development and photosynthesis in plants, impacting their growth and stress responses.
- - In a study of soybean, 34 FtsH genes were identified and grouped based on structural similarities, with significant gene duplication observed in their evolutionary relationship.
- - Gene expression analysis showed that FtsH genes are predominantly active in leaves, suggesting their role as protein hydrolases, with one specific protein (GmFtsH13) localized in chloroplasts, providing insights into soybean leaf development.
Article Synopsis
- - Soybean is a major global oilseed crop, but its yield and quality are negatively impacted by salt and soil salinization, making it crucial to investigate molecular mechanisms of salt tolerance in plants for genetic improvement.
- - The SnRK1 protein, which is important in plant responses to various stresses, was found to interact with GmPKS4, and GmSNF1 was shown to be involved in salinity tolerance through various experimental techniques like yeast two-hybrid and qRT-PCR.
- - Transgenic experiments with soybean hairy root complexes demonstrated that overexpressing and silencing certain genes could enhance salt tolerance, indicating their potential utility in genetic engineering for better salt stress resilience in plants.
