[Silencing results in activation of immune responses in soybean].

Autophagy is a highly conserved mechanism for material degradation and recycling in eukaryote cells, and plays important roles in growth, development, stress tolerance and immune responses. ATG10 plays a key role in autophagosome formation. To understand the function of ATG10 in soybean, two homologous genes, namely and , were silenced simultaneously by bean pod mottle virus (BPMV) induced gene silencing.
