Enhanced lignin and cellulose metabolism promote cell wall synthesis and growth of wild soybean HRA under alkali stress.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Soil salinization adversely threatens plant survival and food production globally. The mobilization of storage reserves in cotyledons and establishment of the hypocotyl/root axis (HRA) structure and function are crucial to the growth of dicotyledonous plants during the post-germination growth period. Here we report the adaptive mechanisms of wild and cultivated soybeans in response to alkali stress in soil during the post-germination growth period.

Methods

Differences in physiological parameters, microstructure, and the types, amounts and metabolic pathways of small-molecule metabolites and gene expression were compared and multi-omics integration analysis was performed between wild and cultivated soybean under sufficient and artificially simulated alkali
