An integrated analysis of miRNA and mRNA expressions in soybean response to boron stress.

ABSTRACT: Boron (B) fertilization significantly increased soybean seed yields and is an indispensable micronutrient in soybean growth. However, it is difficult to absorb in soil, which can seriously affect soybean growth. In this study, soybeans were planted under B deficiency and B sufficiency conditions, then physiological and biochemical indicators of soybean seedlings were measured. The results indicated that the antioxidant enzyme activity (SOD, POD, CAT, APX) and malondialdehyde content increased considerably compared with their controls in the leaves and roots, respectively. Among these, the difference in the roots was more significant than in the leaves, suggesting that the root system was more sensitive. Therefore, soybean roots under B stress for 12 hours and 8 days were selected to constr
