This study identifies enhanced phenolic chemical defense as a key mechanism for resistance to multiple soybean cyst nematode populations in wild soybean.

This study investigates the molecular evolution and functional divergence of Bowman-Birk inhibitors in legumes and cereals, showing that seed-specific and environmentally responsive subfamilies exist, and demonstrates that reducing seed-specific BBIs improves nutritional value without affecting agronomic traits.

The paper identifies a temperature-sensitive chlorotic soybean mutant and shows that a mutation in Glyma.07G102300 causes the phenotype, with severity increasing at lower temperatures.
