Beyond transcription factors: more regulatory layers affecting soybean gene expression under abiotic stress.

ABSTRACT: Abiotic stresses such as nutritional imbalance, salt, light intensity, and high and low temperatures negatively affect plant growth and development. Through the course of evolution, plants developed multiple mechanisms to cope with environmental variations, such as physiological, morphological, and molecular adaptations. Epigenetic regulation, transcription factor activity, and post-transcriptional regulation operated by RNA molecules are mechanisms associated with gene expression regulation under stress. Epigenetic regulation, including histone and DNA covalent modifications, triggers chromatin remodeling and changes the accessibility of transcription machinery leading to alterations in gene activity and plant homeostasis responses. Soybean is a legume widely produced and whose productivi
