Genome-Wide Analysis of <i>AGC</i> Genes Related to Salt Stress in Soybeans (<i>Glycine max</i>).

ABSTRACT: The AGC protein kinase family plays a crucial role in regulating plant growth, immunity, and cell death, as well as responses to abiotic stresses such as salt-induced stress, which impact plant development and productivity. While the functions of AGC kinases have been thoroughly studied in model plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana, their roles in soybeans (Glycine max) remain poorly understood. In this study, we identified 69 AGC kinase genes in soybeans, which are unevenly distributed across 19 chromosomes and classified into five subfamilies: PDK1, AGCVI, AGCVII, AGCVIII, and AGC (other). Each subfamily shares similar exon-intron structures and specific motifs. Gene duplication and selection pressure analyses revealed that the GmAGC gene family is primarily ex
