The MYB Transcription Factor Negatively Regulates Resistance in Soybean.

Phytophthora root rot is a devastating disease of soybean caused by . However, the resistance mechanism is not yet clear. Our previous studies have shown that enhances sensitivity to in soybean, and is downregulated in the transcriptome analysis of -overexpressing transgenic hairy roots.

The EIN3 transcription factor GmEIL1 improves soybean resistance to Phytophthora sojae.

Phytophthora root and stem rot of soybean (Glycine max), caused by the oomycete Phytophthora sojae, is an extremely destructive disease worldwide. In this study, we identified GmEIL1, which encodes an ethylene-insensitive3 (EIN3) transcription factor. GmEIL1 was significantly induced following P.

GmWAK1, Novel Wall-Associated Protein Kinase, Positively Regulates Response of Soybean to Infection.

Phytophthora root rot is a destructive soybean disease worldwide, which is caused by the oomycete pathogen (). Wall-associated protein kinase () genes, a family of the receptor-like protein kinase () genes, play important roles in the plant signaling pathways that regulate stress responses and pathogen resistance. In our study, we found a putative Glycine max wall-associated protein kinase, GmWAK1, which we identified by soybean GmLHP1 RNA-sequencing.

Role of in Ergosterol Biosynthesis by and the Associated Regulation by HSY21.

Ergosterol is an important component of the fungal cell membrane and represents an effective target of chemical pesticides. However, the current understanding of ergosterol biosynthesis in the soybean root rot pathogen remains limited. In addition, the regular use of fungicides that inhibit ergosterol synthesis will seriously harm the ecological environment and human health.

The AP2/ERF GmERF113 Positively Regulates the Drought Response by Activating in Soybean.

Ethylene response factors (ERFs) are involved in biotic and abiotic stress; however, the drought resistance mechanisms of many ERFs in soybeans have not been resolved. Previously, we proved that enhances resistance to the pathogen in soybean. Here, we determined that is induced by 20% PEG-6000.

The BTB/POZ domain protein GmBTB/POZ promotes the ubiquitination and degradation of the soybean AP2/ERF-like transcription factor GmAP2 to regulate the defense response to Phytophthora sojae.

Phytophthora root and stem rot in soybean (Glycine max) is a destructive disease worldwide, and hence improving crop resistance to the causal pathogen, P. sojae, is a major target for breeders. However, it remains largely unclear how the pathogen regulates the various affected signaling pathways in the host, which consist of complex networks including key transcription factors and their targets.

Phylogenetic analysis of the sequences of rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of Phytophthora sojae.

The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region (ITS1, ITS2 and 5.8S rDNA) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) was amplified via the PCR method in seventeen different isolates of Phytophthora sojae using the common primers of the ITS of fungi. Around 800 bp-1,000 bp fragments were obtained based on the DL2000 marker and the sequences of the PCR products were tested.
