Expression of soybean plant hemoglobin gene family under abiotic stresses.

ABSTRACT: Many abiotic stresses induce the generation of nitric oxide (NO) in plant tissues, where it functions as a signal molecule in stress responses. Plants modulate NO by oxidizing it to NO₃ ^- with plant hemoglobin (GLB), because excess NO is toxic to cells. At least eight genes encoding GLB have been identified in soybean, in three clades: GLB1, GLB2, and GLB3. However, it is still unclear which GLB genes are responsible for NO regulation under abiotic stress in soybean. We exposed soybean roots to flooding, salt, and two NO donors-sodium pentacyanonitrosylferrate (III) dihydrate (SNP) and S-nitroso-N-acetyl-d,l-penicillamine (SNAP)-and analyzed expression of GLB genes.
