Identification of soybean circular RNAs in response to low nitrogen and phosphorus stress

Authors

Abstract:

Soybean, one of the most important sources of edible oil and protein in the world, is exposed to various environmental biotic and abiotic stresses. These stresses can negatively impact the quality and quantity of soybean production. This study aimed to identify genes that express circular RNAs in response to low phosphorus and nitrogen stresses in soybean roots. Soybean seeds were grown under different low phosphorus and nitrogen treatments, and sampling was done from the root tissues for total RNA isolation. After measuring the quality and quantity of the isolated RNA, samples were sent to the Macrogen company (South Korea public biotechnology company) for next-generation sequencing. After obtaining the sequencing data, the quality of RNA-seq data measured, and then circular RNAs were identified and characterized using five different programs. Finally, to identify the expression pattern and putative function of circular RNAs, differential expression analysis and functional analysis of circular RNAs’ parent genes was done using bioinformatics approaches. RNA-seq experiment produced more than 360 million reads, and in total, 2033 circular RNAs were identified in all treatments. Although some circular RNAs were co-expressed in two or more treatments, most of the circular RNAs had a stress-responsive expression. Our results were revealed that circular RNAs may play their roles by binding to their target molecules. Identified genes can be used in plant breeding programs for producing tolerant soybean cultivars to low phosphorus and nitrogen stresses.

overexpression of rice phosphate transporter gene ospt2 enhances tolerance to low phosphorus stress in soybean

low phosphorous (p) availability in soils limits production of soybean [glycine max (l.) merr.] around the world. this study was conducted to determine whether exogenous expression of the rice (oryza sativa l.) phosphates transporter gene ospt2 would increase inorganic phosphates (pi) acquisition and improve yield in transgenic soybean. cotyledonary-node explants of the soybean were inoculated ...

Identification of Circular RNAs in Kiwifruit and Their Species-Specific Response to Bacterial Canker Pathogen Invasion

Research studies have recently focused on circle RNAs (circRNAs) in relation to their regulatory functions in animals. However, the systematic identification of circRNAs in plants, especially non-model plants, is limited. In addition, raw report on the prediction of the potential role of circRNAs in plant response to pathogen invasion is currently available. We conducted the systematic identifi...

Genotypic Differences in Phosphorus Efficiency and the Performance of Physiological Characteristics in Response to Low Phosphorus Stress of Soybean in Southwest of China

Southwest of China is one of the major soybean (Glycine max L.) production regions in China with low availability of soil phosphorus (P). Whereas little information is available on P-efficient soybean genotypes in this region, even though using P-efficient soybean genotypes is a sustainable P management strategy for enhancing yield and P use efficiency. To assess the genetic variation on P use ...

Response of Sunflower to Nitrogen and Phosphorus in North Dakota

1 Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is native to North America. American natives first cultivated sunflower 5000 yr ago in the present-day southwest United States (Semeslczi-Kovacs, 1975). Sunflower spread to the north and east in North America, where it was domesticated 4000 yr ago (Blackman et al., 2011). Sunflower is a relatively new commercial crop to the United States, with commercial culti...
