Molecular mechanisms for the photoperiodic regulation of flowering in soybean

Xiaoya Lin et al.

Summary: Photoperiodic flowering plays a crucial role in soybean adaptation and yield, with different latitudes requiring different strategies for flowering time control. Molecular studies have enhanced our understanding of the flowering pathway in soybean, providing valuable insights for breeding high-yielding cultivars.

Light-induced mobile factors from shoots regulate rhizobium-triggered soybean root nodulation

Tao Wang et al.

Summary: The symbiosis of nitrogen fixation in plants involves the interaction of aboveground light signals and underground symbiotic signals through specific signaling pathways, ensuring that the roots of host plants are informed of the status of the aboveground environment for providing necessary nutrients for symbiosis.

A critical role of the soybean evening complex in the control of photoperiod sensitivity and adaptation

Tiantian Bu et al.

Summary: Photoperiod sensitivity is crucial for plant adaptation and crop production, with the J and LUX genes playing key roles in regulating flowering in soybean. The interaction between the J-LUX complex suppresses transcription of the key flowering repressor E1, indicating their central role in soybean photoperiod sensitivity. This highlights the potential for targeted breeding of soybean varieties with precise flowering time adaptation by manipulating EC and E1 family genes.
