Project description:Cultivated soybean has domesticated in China for a long history, and there are several significant phenotypic differences between wild and cultivated soybeans. Seed of cultivar is generally larger than wild soybean, therefore here we comprehensively analyzed transcriptomes of thirteen soybean accessions seeds including seven wild soybeans and six landraces through applying strand-specific RNA sequencing. Differential expressed genes related seed weight were identified, some of them were known to be associated with seed development in Arabidopsis. Noncoding RNAs are known to play important roles in plant development, and we profiled the expression pattern of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) in cultivated and wild soybean seeds. We have identified 1,251 long intergenic noncoding RNA, 243 intronic RNA and 81 antisense lncRNA, transcriptional levels of a number of lncRNAs were significantly different between cultivated and wild soybeans, suggesting that lncRNA may be involved in soybean seed development.
Project description:Non-targeted metabolic profiling of 26 soybean varieties using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) including 15 wild black soybeans (WBS) and 11 cultivated black soybeans (CBS), combined with multivariate analysis, revealed significant differences in 25 differential metabolites

Project description:Glycine max was cultivated in China for nearly 5000 years, commonly referred to as soybeans, now it has become one of the important economic crops in the world (Li et al., 2008). Post-translational modifications are known to regulate many cellular processes, which are dynamic and reversible and can make protein functions changed.(Westermann and Weber, 2003). To date, among 400 PTMs have been detected, such as Acetylation, Ubiquitination, Phosphorylation, Malonylation, Succinylation and Methylation(Colak et al., 2013; Weinert et al., 2013).
