Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Soybean is the most economically important legume in the world, providing vegetable protein and ingredients for human and animal consumption.

Adversity stresses such as temperature extremes, drought, floods, salinity, nutrient deficiencies, and toxicities limit soybean yields. Most land is exposed to stressful conditions. Because of climate change, the frequency and intensity of such environmental stresses are expected to increase, already causing substantial losses in crop production.

Diseases and pests also suppress soybean yield around the world. Many resistance genes and quantitative trait loci have been identified against major pathogens and pests, some of which were introgressed into new resistant varieties. The rapid evolution of such pathogens and pests emphasizes the importance of persistent efforts to identify new resistance germplasm and genes.

This Special Issue will therefore focus on the latest advances in the understanding of resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses. Submissions of review or original research articles covering, but not limited to, the following themes are welcome:

  • Precise, accurate, and digitalized phenotypic measurement of responses to adversity and biotic stresses;
  • Genetic dissection of tolerance to adversity and disease resistance;
  • Genomic prediction for responses to adverse environments and quantitative disease resistance;
  • Multi-omics-driven studies focusing on adversity and disease resistance;
  • Other related subjects.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Plants is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs).

Flooding stress caused by climate change is a serious threat to crop productivity. To enhance our understanding of flooding stress in soybean, we analyzed the transcriptome of the roots of soybean plants after waterlogging treatment for 10 days at the V2 growth stage. Through RNA sequencing analysis, 870 upregulated and 1129 downregulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified and characterized using Gene Ontology (GO) and MapMan software (version 3.6.0RC1). In the functional classification analysis, “alcohol biosynthetic process” was the most significantly enriched GO term in downregulated DEGs, and phytohormone-related genes such as ABA, cytokinin, and gibberellin were upregulated. Among the transcription factors (TFs) in DEGs, AP2/ERFs were the most abundant. Furthermore, our DEGs encompassed eight soybean orthologs from Arabidopsis and rice, such as 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate oxidase. Along with a co-functional network consisting of the TF and orthologs, the expression changes of those genes were tested in a waterlogging-resistant cultivar, PI567343. These findings contribute to the identification of candidate genes for waterlogging tolerance in soybean, which can enhance our understanding of waterlogging tolerance. Full article

Phytophthora root and stem rot (PRSR) disease results in substantial losses in soybean production worldwide. The occurrence of PRSR caused by Phytophthora sojae Kaufmann & Gerdemann has become increasingly important for soybean production in the Republic of Korea, but domestic soybean–P. sojae interaction has been less studied. The disease has been managed by developing varieties harboring resistance to the Phytophthora sojae (Rps) gene. The present study aimed to identify a major gene locus conferring resistance to new P. sojae isolate 2858 in the recombinant inbred line population derived from a cross between parental lines ‘Daepung’ (susceptible) and ‘Saedanbaek’ (resistant). Seventy-three recombination inbred lines (RILs) were evaluated for resistance to P. sojae isolate 2858. A resistance locus was identified in the approximate 3.3–4.3 megabase pair region on chromosome 3 using both single-marker and linkage analyses. The Rps of Saedanbaek (RpsSDB) was located on the well-known Rps gene/allele cluster region, which also partially overlapped with a locus previously identified in the Korean soybean variety, ‘Daewon’, resistant to another P. sojae isolate 2457 (RpsDW). Approximately 402 kilobase pairs of the interval region overlapped, including six nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR)-coding genes. Additional phenotypic assays revealed that Saedanbaek was susceptible to isolate 2457 and that Daewon was susceptible to isolate 2858, indicating that RpsSDB and RpsDW are different genes or alleles that confer race-specific resistance to the two P. sojae isolates. These results provide information that will be helpful for breeders developing P. sojae-resistant cultivars. Full article
