Domain of unknown function 4228 (DUF4228) proteins are a class of proteins widely found in plants, playing an important role in response to abiotic stresses. However, studies on the DUF4228 family in soybean ( L.) are sparse.

- The study identifies 27 stress associated proteins (SAPs) in soybean that may regulate responses to various abiotic stresses.
- Six specific SAP genes were found to be significantly induced under conditions such as water deficit, salt stress, and abscisic acid treatment and were further analyzed for their roles.
- The gene GmSAP16, when overexpressed, improved drought and salt tolerance in transgenic plants by enhancing proline content, reducing water loss, and modifying the expression of other stress-related genes.
Article Synopsis
- - TGA transcription factors, part of the bZIP group D, are important for growth and stress responses in soybeans, with 27 genes identified in the soybean genome showing varied expression during drought and salt stress.
- - One specific gene was particularly responsive to both stresses, showing that overexpressing it improved tolerance to drought and salt in transgenic plants, while silencing it led to increased sensitivity.
- - The study revealed that transgenic plants with the overexpressed gene had higher chlorophyll and proline levels, altered ABA responses, and were better at managing water loss compared to wild-type plants, while RNAi silenced lines showed the opposite effects.
Article Synopsis
- The YABBY gene family is crucial for plant growth and development, with 17 YABBY genes identified in the soybean genome, located across 11 chromosomes.
- Analysis showed that these genes contain key regulatory elements and are sensitive to abiotic stresses like drought and salt.
- Specifically, GmYABBY10 was found to potentially inhibit plant resistance to drought and salt stress, as transgenic Arabidopsis with this gene had lower survival rates and smaller roots compared to wild type plants under stress conditions.
Drought-induced (Di19) proteins played important roles in plant growth, development, and abiotic stress responses. In the present study, a total of seven Di19 genes were identified in soybean. Each soybean Di19 gene showed specific responses to salt, drought, oxidative, and ABA stresses based on expression profiles.

The study on the monthly absorption, transportation, and distribution of Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ in Iris lactea under saline-alkali field conditions showed that the contents of test cations in I. lactea varied with months. After June, the cations contents in plant increased with growth.
