Effect of F. mosseae on the expression of genes and proteins about sulfur nutrition in the continuous crop soybean roots

Abstract

Soybean is a sulfur-loving oilseed crop, and continuous cropping can lead to soil sulfur deficiency, which can inhibit the growth and quality of soybean. This experiment used transcriptomic and proteomic sequencing techniques to analyse the changes in the expression of functional genes and related proteins in the root system of continuously cropped soybean and to reveal the molecular mechanism of F. mosseae inoculation on the soybean root system in response to sulfur nutrient supply at the molecular level. It was thus demonstrated that F. mosseae could enhance the uptake and transport of soil sulfur in continuously cropped soybean. This study, therefore, provides a theoretical basis for the application of F. mosseae as a biofertilizer in soybean production on sulfur-deficient soils.
