Summary: The study investigated the role of Pythium oligandrum as a biocontrol agent against Pythium aphanidermatum, the causal agent of damping-off disease in soybeans. Results showed that isolates of P. oligandrum exhibited inhibition of the pathogenic fungus, as well as improved germination rate of soybean seedlings and root development.

Summary: This study collected soybean seeds with serious symptoms of rotted pods from a farm in Hubei Province, China. Fusarium strains were isolated from the seeds and two Fusarium species were identified. The strains from the Fusarium fujikuroi species complex showed higher pathogenicity on soybean seeds, roots, and pods compared to the strains from the Fusarium incarnatum-equiseti species complex. F. proliferatum YZU 201408 was found to be the most pathogenic strain, causing disease severity of 72.2% to 90% in all tests.

Summary: The research demonstrates the use of transgenic soybean lines expressing siRNA against the CYP51B gene from Fusarium oxysporum to improve resistance. Results showed the presence of siRNA in leaves and roots of transgenic lines, leading to resistance to F. oxysporum. Transgenic plants exhibited better growth and development when challenged with fungal pathogens.

Summary: The study shows a tritrophic interaction among Burkholderia ambifaria, F. oxysporum, and soybean in the rhizosphere. Despite B. ambifaria inhibiting F. oxysporum growth and promoting bacterial propagation, F. oxysporum can still infect soybean in the presence of B. ambifaria.

Summary: Soybean mosaic disease caused by soybean mosaic virus (SMV) results in significant losses in yield and seed quality worldwide. This study evaluated the phytotoxicity of Achyrocline satureioides extract and essential oils of Minthostachys verticillata, Origanum vulgare, and Thymus vulgaris on soybean. The results showed that all concentrations tested were safe, and two essential oils inhibited the production of viral antigens, indicating potential for developing an effective biopesticide against SMV.

Summary: Weed interference is a limiting factor for high yields in soybean crop. The level of interference varies depending on the weed community and soybean varieties. This study evaluated the effects of weed interference on soybean varieties with different relative maturity groups. Different weed management strategies had significant effects on chlorophyll levels and grain yield. Late interventions in weed control resulted in yield losses regardless of the soybean variety.

Summary: This study investigated the genetic and biological roles of the GsIMaT2 gene from wild soybean in the regulation of nodule and root growth in soybean. The overexpression of GsIMaT2 was found to increase nodule numbers, fresh nodule weight, root weight, and root length by boosting strigolactone formation. Additionally, the study revealed that isoflavones and their biosynthetic genes play unique functions in the nodulation signaling system in soybean.

Summary: This study utilized F2-3 mapping populations derived from a wild soybean germplasm with high salt tolerance and two salt-sensitive soybean cultivars to detect and map salt tolerance-related genes. Through molecular marker technologies and analysis strategies, salt tolerance loci were successfully mapped on different chromosomes, providing a new theoretical foundation for breeding salt-tolerant soybean.

Summary: Arsenic is a global concern due to its high toxicity and detrimental effects on soybean growth and food safety. Co-inoculation of soybean with specific plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) improves soybean growth, antioxidant system, and reduces arsenic accumulation.

Summary: Soybean oil, the second most produced edible vegetable oil, is prone to developing off-odor under photooxidative conditions. This study identified two genes responsible for the biosynthesis of furan fatty acids in soybean, which contribute to the off-odor. Transgenic soybean plants expressing these genes showed reduced off-odor after light exposure.

Summary: Fusarium fujikuroi is the dominant seed-borne fungi causing soybean seed decay. Soybean seeds exhibit physiological responses, cell wall-related defense, and metabolic adjustments to resist F. fujikuroi, which are useful for soybean resistance breeding.

Summary: This study aimed to identify genes associated with soybean seed quality by comparing the transcriptomes of soybean seeds with different seed coat colors. Through RNA-seq analysis and validation with real-time PCR, 318 differentially expressed genes were found in all cultivars. These genes are involved in pathways related to ethylene, lipid, brassinosteroid, lignin, and sulfur amino acid biosynthesis.
