MADS-box proteins are key transcription factors involved in plant reproductive development. APETALA1 (AP1) in Arabidopsis is a MIKC-type MADS-box gene and plays important roles in flower development. In this research, we isolated and characterized GmAP1, which encoded an AP1-like protein in soybean. GmAP1 contained eight exons and seven introns and was specifically expressed in the flower, especially in the sepal and petal. GmAP1 was a nucleus-localized transcription factor and displayed transactivation activity. It caused early flowering and alteration of floral organs when ectopically expressed in tobacco. To our knowledge, this is the first report characterizing an AP1-like gene from soybean.

Legume leaves exhibit diverse compound forms, with various regulatory mechanisms underlying the development. The transcription factor-encoding KNOXI genes are required to promote leaflet initiation in most compound-leafed angiosperms. In non-IRLC (inverted repeat-lacking clade) legumes, KNOXI are expressed in compound leaf primordia but not in others (IRLC).

To investigate the role of the RegSR-NifA regulatory cascade in the oxygen control of nitric oxide (NO) reduction in the soybean endosymbiont . We have performed an integrated study of expression and NO reductase activity in , , , , and mutants in response to microoxia (2% O) or anoxia. An activating role of RegR and NifA was observed under anoxia.

Plants have evolved photoprotective non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) pathways to dissipate excess light energy. In tobacco and soybean (C plants), overexpression of three NPQ genes, e ( V DE), ( P sbS), and ( Z EP), hereafter VPZ, resulted in faster NPQ induction and relaxation kinetics, and increased crop yields in field conditions.
