Natural GmACO1 allelic variations confer drought tolerance and influence nodule formation in soybean - EurekAlert
<p><strong>In a paper published on aBIOTECH, the authors found a gene named <em>GmACO1</em> conferring drought tolerance in soybean through a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in a natural soybean population.</strong> <strong>Allelic analysis and genetic validation demonstrated that</strong><strong> <em>GmACO1 </em>en</strong><strong>coding for a </strong><strong>1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate oxidase positively regulated drought tolerance in soybean,</strong><strong> Meanwhile, <em>GmACO1</em> expression was reduced after rhizobial infection, and negatively regulated soybean nodule formation.</strong></p>
