Systemic regulation of soybean nodulation and nitrogen fixation by nitrogen via isoflavones.

ABSTRACT: Nitrogen (N) inhibits soybean (Glycine max L.) nodulation and N₂ fixation. Isoflavones secreted by soybean roots can stimulate signal transduction for symbiotic nodules, thus playing a key role in root nodule development and N₂ fixation. The relationship between the inhibition of soybean nodulation, N₂ fixation and isoflavones by N is still unclear. In this study, dual-root soybean plants were prepared by grafting, and N or isoflavones were supplied to unilateral roots. The number and dry weight of the soybean nodules, nitrogenase activity, isoflavone concentrations and relative changes in the level of expression of nodulation-related genes were measured to study the response relationship between the N systemic regulation the soybean nodule N_2</
