Leguminous plants establish symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing rhizobial bacteria to use atmospheric dinitrogen gas to meet high N demand under low-N conditions. Nodule formation and N fixation are energy-consuming processes and are inhibited by nitrate present in the environment. Previous studies in model leguminous plants characterized NIN-LIKE PROTEIN (NLP) proteins that mediate nitrate control of root nodule symbiosis, but the mechanism by which nitrate regulates soybean root nodules via NLP remains unclear. In the soybean genome we found four homologs of AtNLP7, named GmNLP7a–GmNLP7d. We showed that the expression of <em>GmNLP7s</em> is responsive to nitrate but not to rhizobial infection and localized GmNLP7a to the nucleus. Downregulation of <em>GmNLP7s</em> increased nodule number, and overexpression of <em>GmNLP7a</em> (<em>GmNLP7aOE</em>) reduced nodule number regardless of nitrate availability, suggesting a negative role for GmNLP7s in nodulation. Nitrogenase activity in the <em>GmNLP7aOE</em> line was comparable to that of the wild type, indicating that <em>GmNLP7a</em> does not affect mature nodule activity. Overexpression of <em>GmNLP7a</em> downregulated the expression of <em>GmNIN1a</em> and <em>GmENOD40-1</em>. GmNLP7a interacted with GmNIN1a via the PB1 domain. Our results reveal a new regulator of GmNLP7 in nodulation and a molecular mechanism by which nitrate affects nodule number in soybean.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":10790,"journal":{"name":"Crop Journal","volume":"11 5","pages":"Pages 1401-1410"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49845240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared with Atphot1, Zmphot1 exhibited a weaker phototropic response to very low-fluence rates of blue light (< 0.01 μmol m<sup>−2</sup> s<sup>−1</sup>), but stronger phototropic response to high-fluence rates of blue light (> 10 μmol m<sup>−2</sup> s<sup>−1</sup>) than Atphot1.

Development of elite alien germplasm resources with powdery mildew resistance and other key breeding traits is an attractive strategy in wheat breeding. In this study, three wheat-rye germplasm lines YT4-1, YT4-2, and YT4-3 were developed through hybridization between octoploid triticale and common wheat, out of which the lines YT4-1 and YT4-2 conferred adult-plant resistance (APR) to powdery mildew while the line YT4-3 was susceptible to powdery mildew during all of its growth stages.
