Mannose 6 Phosphate

Five mannose-6-phosphate isomerase (EC 5.3.1.8) variants were observed electrophoretically in cultivated soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) and wild soybeans (G. soja Sieb. &Zucc.). Four of the five variants differed in the mobility of the two mannose-6-phosphate isomerase bands observed, while the fifth showed no enzyme activity. Several crosses involving different variants were made to study inheritance of the observed variants. The inheritance data showed that the five variants were allelic and controlled by a single locus (Mpi). The five alleles were as follows: Mpi-a (Rf 0.61 and 0.66); Mpi-b (Rf 0.66 and 0.7); Mpi-c (Rf 0.71 and 0.75); Mpi-d (Rf 0.76 and 0.80); and mpi. Mpi-a, Mpi-b, Mpi-c, and Mpi-d are codominant, and the null allele mpi is recessive. The Mpi-b allele is most common while the Mpi-d and mpi alleles are rare in both the cultivated and wild soybean germ plasm from various sources examined.Key words: Glycine max, Glycine soja, isozymes, Mpi, gel electrophoresis, allelic frequency.

Selection Of

The leghemoglobins from a genetically diverse selection of 69 cultivated soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) cultivars and plant introductions and 18 wild soybean (Glycine soja Sieb. & Zucc.) plant introductions all consist of the same set of major leghemoglobins (a, c1, c2, c3), as determined by analytical isoelectric focusing. The conservation of both leghemoglobin heterogeneity and also all four major leghemoglobin structures provides strong circumstantial evidence that leghemoglobin heterogeneity is functional. Glycine max and G. soja produced the same leghemoglobins in the presence of Bradyrhizobium japonicum (Kirchner) Jordan and in the presence of fast-growing Rhizobium japonicum.

Biallelic Mutations

Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) system has been regularly applied for genome editing and gene function identification in wild soybean (Glycine max) cultivars. However, till date no studies have demonstrated successful mutagenesis in wild soybean (Glycine soja) which is the ancestor of Glycine max and rich in stress tolerance genes. In the current study, we report the successful creation of mutations in the loci encoding plasma membrane Na+/H+ antiporter (SOS1) and nonselective cation channels (NSCC) in wild soybean hairy roots using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Two genes, GsSOS1 and GsNSCC, were mutagenized with frequencies of 28.5% and 39.9%, respectively. Biallelic mutations in GsSOS1 were detected in transgenic hairy roots. GsSOS1 mutants exhibited altered Na+/K+ ratios in the roots under both control and salt-treated conditions. However, no significant effects of GsNSCC mutation on Na+/K+ ratios were observed. RNA-Seq analysis revealed that both GsSOS1 and GsNSCC mutation altered the transcription profiles in mutant roots. Many differentially expressed gene sets that are associated with various cellular functions were identified. Our results demonstrated that CRISPR/Cas9 systems as powerful tools for wild soybean genome editing and would significantly advance the gene mining and functional identification in wild soybean.

Breeding for resistance to soybean red crown rot (Calonectria ilicicola) has long been hampered by the lack of genetic sources of adequate levels of resistance to use as parents. Mini core collections of soybean (Glycine max) originating from Japan (79 accessions), from around the world (80 accessions), and a collection of wild soybeans (Glycine soja) consisting 54 accessions were evaluated for resistance to C. ilicicola (isolate UH2-1). In the first two sets, average disease severity scores of 4.2 ± 0.28 and 4.6 ± 0.31 on a rating scale from zero for no symptom to 5.0 for seedling death were recorded from the set from Japan and the world. No high levels of resistance were observed in these two sets. On the other hand, disease severity score of 3.8 ± 0.35 for the wild soybean accessions was somewhat lower and exhibited higher levels of resistance compared to the soybean cultivars. Three accessions in the wild soybean collection (Gs-7, Gs-9, and Gs-27) had disease severity score ≤2.5 and showed >70% reduction in fungal growth in the roots compared to soybean control cv. “Enrei”. Further analysis using 10 C. ilicicola isolates revealed that accession Gs-9 overall had a wide range of resistance to all isolates tested, with 37% to 93% reduction in fungal growth relative to the cv. Enrei. These highly resistant wild soybean lines may serve as valuable genetic resources for developing C. ilicicola-resistant soybean cultivars.

Eight lines of soybean (Glycine max), four of wild soybean (Glycine soja), and one cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) cultivar were inoculated with 18 Rhizobium strains. After 4 days, root hairs were examined for infection threads. Threads were produced by all hosts but exclusively in nodulating combinations. Only Rhizobium sp. strains 3G4b9a and 3G4b19 were inconsistent; they nodulated soybean and G. soja in some experiments, but rarely formed infection threads. Soybean and G. soja were indistinguishable in their interactions with rhizobia, as were lele soybean lines (genetically lack soybean lectin), Hardee soybean (contains the noduation-influencing genes Rj2 and Rj3), and several other soybean cultivars. Threads formed in cowpea with all of the R. japonicum strains and most Rhizobium sp. but not with R. lupini. Infection of all three host species occurred in portions of the primary root containing immature or no root hairs at the time of inoculation; proximal tissues having elongated root hairs lacked infection threads. Infected root hairs were short and commonly shaped like question marks. Threads usually branched and sometimes intertwined prior to elongation into the basal portion of root hairs.

We obtained a new hybrid soybean (Hybrid) by hybridizing β-carotene-enhanced soybean (BCE; Glycine max L.) containing the phytoene synthase-2A-carotene desaturase gene and wild-type soybean (Wild; Glycine soja). To investigate metabolic changes between variants, we performed metabolic profiling of leaves (three growth stages) and seeds. Multivariate analyses revealed significant metabolic differences between genotypes in seeds and leaves, with seeds showing accumulation of phytosterols, tocopherols, and carotenoids (BCE only), indicating co-induction of the methylerythritol 4-phosphate and mevalonic acid pathways. Additionally, Hybrid produced intermediate levels of carotenoids and high levels of amino acids. Principal component analysis revealed metabolic discrimination between growth stages of soybean leaves and identified differences in leaf groups according to different genotypes at 8, 12, and 16 weeks, with Wild showing higher levels of environmental stress-related compounds relative to BCE and Hybrid leaves. The metabolic profiling approach could be a useful tool to identify metabolic links in various soybean cultivars.
