Global sorghum production has been significantly reduced due to the occurrence of sorghum root rot caused by the fungus . The utilization of biocontrol microorganisms has emerged as an effective strategy. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

This study aimed to effectively understand the disease, clarify its biological characteristics, and evaluate the resistance of germplasm resources. A field sample was collected to isolate and purify the pathogen.

In this study, we employed high-throughput sequencing to investigate transcriptional changes in overexpressing and RNA-interfering transgenic hairy roots.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFUbiquitination is a kind of post-translational modification of proteins that plays an important role in plant response to biotic and abiotic stress. The response of soybean genes to soybean cyst nematode (SCN, ) infection is largely unknown. In this study, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to detect the relative expression of 49 genes in susceptible cultivar William 82 and resistant cultivar Huipizhi after SCN inoculation.

However, little is known about the response and the functional roles of sRNAs, particularly small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs), in the soybean-soybean cyst nematode interaction. In this study, siRNA data from 24 sRNA libraries constructed from SCN-infected and non-SCN-infected resistant and susceptible soybean roots were analysed in silico.

Despite recent scientific headway in deciphering the difficulties of somatic embryogenesis, the overall picture of key genes, pathways, and co-expression networks regulating SE is still fragmented. Therefore, deciphering the molecular basis of somatic embryogenesis of hybrid sweetgum remains pertinent.
