In this review, we untangle the physiological key functions of the essential micronutrients
and link them to the deficiency responses in plants. Knowledge of these responses at the …

Soybean [Glycine max (Linn.) Merr] is a source of plant-based proteins and an essential
oilseed crop and industrial raw material. The increase in the demand for soybeans due to …

Tropical legumes transport fixed nitrogen in form of ureides (allantoin and allantoate) over
long distances from the nodules to the shoot. Ureides are formed in nodules from purine …

In the last three years, several gene editing techniques have been developed for both model
and crop legumes. CRISPR-Cas9-based tools, in particular, are outpacing other comparable …

Background Soybean is a worldwide-cultivated crop due to its applications in the food, feed,
and biodiesel industries. Genome editing in soybean began with ZFN and TALEN …

The symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) facilitated by the interaction between legumes and
rhizobia is a well-documented and eco-friendly alternative to chemical nitrogen fertilizers …

Immunity and senescence play a crucial role in the functioning of the legume symbiotic
nodules. The miss-regulation of one of these processes compromises the symbiosis leading …

Sequence and expression data obtained by next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based
forward genetics methods often allow the identification of candidate causal genes. To …

The mechanism by which nitrate inhibits nitrogen fixation in soybean (Glycine max L.) is not
fully understood. Accumulation of ureide in soybean plant tissues may regulate the nitrogen …

Legume crops are a vital feedstock for food, feed, fuel, and industrial products. Soybean, as
the most cultivated legume crop in the world, has been subject to intense selection and …
