Beyond transcription factors: more regulatory layers affecting soybean gene expression under abiotic stress
Abstract Abiotic stresses such as nutritional imbalance, salt, light intensity, and high and low temperatures negatively affect plant growth and development. Through the course of evolution, plants developed multiple mechanisms to cope with environmental variations, such as physiological, morphologi...

| description | Abstract Abiotic stresses such as nutritional imbalance, salt, light intensity, and high and low temperatures negatively affect plant growth and development. Through the course of evolution, plants developed multiple mechanisms to cope with environmental variations, such as physiological, morphological, and molecular adaptations. Epigenetic regulation, transcription factor activity, and post-transcriptional regulation operated by RNA molecules are mechanisms associated with gene expression regulation under stress. Epigenetic regulation, including histone and DNA covalent modifications, triggers chromatin remodeling and changes the accessibility of transcription machinery leading to alterations in gene activity and plant homeostasis responses. Soybean is a legume widely produced and whose productivity is deeply affected by abiotic stresses. Many studies explored how soybean faces stress to identify key elements and improve productivity through breeding and genetic engineering. This review summarizes recent progress in soybean gene expression regulation through epigenetic modifications and circRNAs pathways, and points out the knowledge gaps that are important to study by the scientific community. It focuses on epigenetic factors participating in soybean abiotic stress responses, and chromatin modifications in response to stressful environments and draws attention to the regulatory potential of circular RNA in post-transcriptional processing. |
