Natural variation of GmFATA1B regulates seed oil content and composition in soybean.
J Integr Plant Biol
October 2023
Article Synopsis
- Soybean is a vital global oilseed crop due to its high unsaturated fatty acid content, which directly affects its economic value.
- Genetic variation in soybean cultivars leads to significant differences in seed oil content, but the specific genes regulating this trait are not fully understood.
- This study identified the GmFATA1B gene as a key regulator of seed oil content and composition, and manipulating this gene can potentially improve soybean oil characteristics.
Introduction: Cadmium (Cd) stress is a significant threat to soybean production, and enhancing Cd tolerance in soybean is the focus of this study. The WRKY transcription factor family is associated with abiotic stress response processes. In this study, we aimed to identify a Cd-responsive WRKY transcription factor from soybean and investigate its potential for enhancing Cd tolerance in soybean.
