Effect ofF. mosseaeon the expression of genes and proteins about sulfur nutrition in the continuous crop soybean roots

Abstract

ABSTRACTSoybean is a sulfur-loving oilseed crop, and continuous cropping can lead to soil sulfur deficiency, which can inhibit the growth and quality of soybean. This experiment used transcriptomic and proteomic sequencing techniques to analyse the changes in the expression of functional genes and related proteins in the root system of continuously cropped soybean and to reveal the molecular mechanism ofF. mosseaeinoculation on the soybean root system in response to sulfur nutrient supply at the molecular level. It was thus demonstrated thatF. mosseaecould enhance the uptake and transport of soil sulfur in continuously cropped soybean. This study, therefore, provides a theoretical basis for the application ofF. mosseaeas a biofertilizer in soybean production on sulfur-deficient soils.One-sentence summaryF. mosseaeaffects soybean genes and proteins at the transcriptome and proteome levels.
