Genome-wide study and expression analysis of soybean ERF transcription factors and overexpression of GmERF205 enhances drought resistance in soybean.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Soybean (Glycine max) is an important food crop in China. In recent years, the continuous deterioration of environmental conditions has significantly affected the growth and development of soybean, particularly under drought stress. Ethylene-responsive element binding factor (ERF) transcription factors, which are unique to plants, play crucial roles in various physiological and biochemical processes during plant growth and development.

Results

In this study, RNA sequencing technology was used to analyze the transcriptome of the drought-resistant cultivated variety, combining transcriptome data from different tissue sites and different abiotic stresses, I found 8 highly expressed genes (GmERF45, GmERF50, GmERF78, GmERF95, GmERF108, GmERF205, GmERF249, GmERF252) in
