Summary: The shade avoidance syndrome (SAS) in soybean can have destructive effects on yield, and the genetic bases and fundamental mechanisms of SAS remain largely unclear. The extensive research conducted in the model plant Arabidopsis provides a framework for understanding the SAS in soybean, but recent investigations suggest that the knowledge obtained from model Arabidopsis may not be applicable to all processes in soybean. Further efforts are required to identify the genetic regulators of SAS in soybean for molecular breeding of high-yield cultivars suitable for density farming.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the association between serum hyaluronidase 1 (HYAL1) level in early pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and to examine the interactive effects of HYAL1 with ceramides species on GDM risk. The results showed that high HYAL1 level may increase the risk of GDM in Chinese women, possibly by enhancing the effects of high ceramide 18:0 and low ceramide 24:0 on GDM risk.

Summary: The objective of this study was to examine how considering multiplicative, additive, and interactive effects affects the results of a prospective cohort study on coronary heart disease (CHD) incidence and its main risk factors. The study analyzed data from 2682 middle-aged men in Finland and applied different statistical models to estimate the associations between risk factors and CHD incidence. The results showed that including covariate interactions and time dependence in survival models improved the analysis results and helped determine the order of importance of different CHD risk factors.

Summary: This study aimed to identify stable rice genotypes tolerant to salt stress using AMMI stability model analysis. The results showed that CSR 36 was the most ideal genotype, while CHK2 and IR 87952-1-1-1-2-3-B were the most stable genotypes with above average yields. Genotypes GN13 and GN11 also showed potential for specific salt stress environments in India.

Summary: This paper proves that conditioning on a binary collider introduces an association between its causes and examines the direction and magnitude of the associations between 2 risk factors of the collider using interaction contrasts. The strength of the association depends on the magnitude of the interaction contrast.

Summary: The supine sleep position and high levels of NO2 increase the risk of mild OSA, especially in men and individuals with obesity, while PM2.5 has no association. The interaction effects between sleep position and NO2 at different time periods influence the risk of mild OSA. Changing sleep positions does not reduce the risk of mild OSA caused by NO2.

Summary: In this study, 16 GmCHYR genes with conserved Zinc_ribbon, CHY zinc finger and Ring finger domains were identified and divided into three groups. Additional 2-3 hemerythrin domains were found in the N terminus of Group III. Gene expression analysis revealed unique expression patterns in different soybean tissues/organs and under various abiotic stresses.

Summary: In this study, significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with days to flowering, days to maturity, and seed weight were identified through genetic analysis of wild soybean. Candidate genes related to these traits were selected based on the detected SNP markers. These findings are expected to contribute to improving the quality of soybean cultivars through selective breeding.

Summary: In this study, 180 soybean C2 domain genes were identified, falling into three distinct groups with diverged gene structure and conserved functional domain. Gene transcript and transgenic analysis revealed that GmC2-148 had higher expression levels under salt and drought stresses, showing various stress responses and enhanced stress tolerance in soybean. The results indicate that C2 domain genes play crucial roles in response to salt and drought stresses, offering a genome-wide analysis of the C2 domain family in soybean.

Summary: Cowpea is a legume crop widely grown in the Sudan Savanna, with grain yields varying significantly among years and soil types. The study found that the interaction of year and soil type was the main cause of yield variation, with environmental factors and genotype-environment interactions playing a crucial role in determining yield stability. Soil fertility, water holding capacity, and nutrient content were identified as key factors influencing grain yield variation in different soil types.

Summary: In this study, a total of 35 VLN genes were characterized from soybean and five related legumes. These genes were categorized into three groups based on phylogenetic relationships. Detailed analysis of the soybean VLNs revealed their distribution on 10 of the 20 chromosomes, as well as high group specificities in gene structures and protein motifs. Expression pattern analysis indicated widespread expression of most GmVLNs in various tissues, with three genes showing high expression levels in seeds. Moreover, the promoters of GmVLNs were found to be enriched with cis-elements related to abiotic stresses, hormone signals, and developmental processes, with the largest number associated with light responses.
