The soybean is a critical source of vegetable protein, but its proteome remains undercharacterized. Here, we quantify 12,855 proteins across 14 soybean organs using 4D data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry (4D-DIA-MS), creating the most extensive soybean proteome dataset to date. Organ-specific protein expression and co-expression analyses highlight functional specificity with significant differences in protein-transcript abundance across organs.

Article Synopsis
  • * Scientists measured over 15,000 proteins in different parts of rice plants to understand which proteins are important for specific jobs in those parts.
  • * They found cool connections between rice and another plant, Arabidopsis, and discovered that some parts of the rice plant make different amounts of proteins, which helps scientists learn more about how proteins are controlled.

N -methyladenosine (m A) is the most abundant mRNA modification in eukaryotes and is an important regulator of gene expression as well as many other critical biological processes. However, the characteristics and functions of m A in peanut (Arachis hypogea L.) resistance to bacterial wilt (BW) remain unknown.

Article Synopsis
  • - The HAK family is the largest potassium transporter family in plants, crucial for potassium uptake, stress resistance, and plant development, but not yet characterized in a specific context.
  • - This study identified 40 potential HAK genes grouped into four categories based on phylogenetic analysis, revealing conserved gene structures and factors influencing their expression.
  • - Analysis showed that certain HAK genes are significantly more responsive to hormone induction and K-deficiency conditions, providing candidate genes for future research into their functions.

MYB proteins are involved in diverse important biological processes in plants. Herein, we obtained the superfamily from the allotetraploid , which contains 227 -related (/), 429 (), 22 (), and two () genes. Phylogenetic analysis classified the Bn2R-MYBs into 43 subfamilies, and the BnMYBRs into five subfamilies.

Article Synopsis
  • - A study identified 602 bHLH genes in the oil crop Brassica napus and classified them into 35 subfamilies, including seven new ones, based on genetic and structural characteristics.
  • - Analyses showed that hybridization with other Brassica species contributed to the expansion of these genes, and their expression varied across different plant tissues, indicating their roles in B. napus development.
  • - Treatment with various hormones affected the expression of many bHLH genes, suggesting that a significant number of them are involved in root development, providing insights into their functions for future research.

Phosphate (Pi) transporters play critical roles in Pi acquisition and homeostasis. However, currently little is known about these genes in oil crops. In this study, we aimed to characterize the five Pi transporter gene families (PHT1-5) in allotetraploid .

The plant-specific Teosinte-branched 1/Cycloidea/Proliferating (TCP) transcription factor genes are involved in plants' development, hormonal pathways, and stress response but their evolutionary history is uncertain. The genome-wide analysis performed here for 47 plant species revealed 535 TCP candidates in terrestrial plants and none in aquatic plants, and that TCP family genes originated early in the history of land plants. Phylogenetic analysis divided the candidate genes into Classes I and II, and Class II was further divided into CYCLOIDEA (CYC) and CINCINNATA (CIN) clades; CYC is more recent and originated from CIN in angiosperms.

Genome-wide identification, classification, expression analyses, and functional characterization of GRAS genes in oil crop, Brassica napus, indicate their importance in root development and stress response. GRAS proteins are a plant-specific transcription factor gene family involved in tissues development and stress response. We classified 87 putative GRAS genes in the Brassica napus genome (BnGRASs) into 13 subfamilies by phylogenetic analysis.

Auxin response factor (ARF) is a member of the plant-specific B3 DNA binding superfamily. Here, we report the results of a comprehensive analysis of ARF genes in allotetraploid Brassica napus (2n = 38, AACC). Sixty-seven ARF genes were identified in B.

The plant-specific () transcription factor gene family is important for plant growth and development but little studied in oil crops. We identified and characterized 58 putative genes in (s), which were divided into three major clades and nine subclades based on the gene structure and conserved motifs. Collinearity analysis revealed that most s were the products of allopolyploidization and segmental duplication events.

MADS-box transcription factors are important for plant growth and development, and hundreds of MADS-box genes have been functionally characterized in plants. However, less is known about the functions of these genes in the economically important allopolyploid oil crop, Brassica napus. We identified 307 potential MADS-box genes (BnMADSs) in the B.
