The GmEIN3.1-GmERF3-GmABCI17 module coordinately regulates soybean root development and cadmium tolerance through the ethylene signaling.
Soybean (Glycine max) is a critical oil crop and a key source of fat and protein for both humans and animals. Cadmium (Cd) stress is a severe heavy metal stresses limiting root growth and yield. Significant variations exist in Cd tolerance among different soybean varieties. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying...
