Genome-wide identification of BBX gene family and their expression patterns under salt stress in soybean.

Background: BBX genes are key players in the regulation of various developmental processes and stress responses, which have been identified and functionally characterized in many plant species. However, our understanding of BBX family was greatly limited in soybean.

Results: In this study, 59 BBX genes were identified and characterized in soybean, which can be phylogenetically classified into 5 groups.

Soybean Inhibits Hypocotyl Elongation and Confers Salt Tolerance in .

() genes generally act as core circadian oscillators to regulate multiple developmental events and stress responses in plants. It is of importance to document their roles in crops for utilizing them to improve agronomic traits. Soybean is one of the most important crops worldwide.

Characterization of the soybean R2R3-MYB transcription factor GmMYB81 and its functional roles under abiotic stresses.

R2R3-type MYBs are a key group of regulatory factors that control diverse developmental processes and stress tolerance in plants. Soybean is a major legume crop with the richness of seed protein and edible vegetable oil, and 244 R2R3-type MYBs have been identified in soybean. However, the knowledge regarding their functional roles has been greatly limited as yet.
