Functional divergence of two soybean cytosolic serine hydroxymethyltransferases in development and defense against soybean cyst nematode
The results indicate that GmSHMT05 sustains overall soybean growth and development in the absence of GmSHMT08, however, GmSHMT08’s gain-of-function in SCN resistance negatively influences pod and root growth, highlighting a potential trade-off between soybean defense and development that may impact yield.
