PG - 4340 LID - 10.1038/ncomms5340 [doi] LID - 4340 AB - Using a whole-genome-sequencing approach to explore germplasm resources can serve as an important strategy for crop improvement, especially in investigating wild accessions that may contain useful genetic resources that have been lost during the domestication process. Here we sequence and assemble a draft genome of wild soybean and construct a recombinant inbred population for genotyping-by-sequencing and phenotypic analyses to identify multiple QTLs relevant to traits of interest in agriculture. We use a combination of de novo sequencing data from this work and our previous germplasm re-sequencing data to identify a novel ion transporter gene, GmCHX1, and relate its sequence alterations to salt tolerance. Rapid gain-of-function tests show the protective effects of GmCHX1 towards salt stress. This combination of whole-genome de novo sequencing, high-density-marker QTL mapping by re-sequencing and functional analyses can serve as an effective strategy to unveil novel genomic information in wild soybean to facilitate crop improvement.

PG - 1155-1169 LID - 10.1111/pbi.13536 [doi] AB - Salt stress has detrimental effects on crop growth and yield, and the area of salt-affected land is increasing. Soybean is a major source of vegetable protein, oil and feed, but considered as a salt-sensitive crop. Cultivated soybean (Glycine max) is domesticated from wild soybean (G. soja) but lost considerable amount of genetic diversity during the artificial selection. Therefore, it is important to exploit the gene pool of wild soybean. In this study, we identified 34 salt-tolerant accessions from wild soybean germplasm and found that a 7-bp insertion/deletion (InDel) in the promoter of GsERD15B (early responsive to dehydration 15B) significantly affects the salt tolerance of soybean. GsERD15B encodes a protein with transcriptional activation function and contains a PAM2 domain to mediate its interaction with poly(A)-binding (PAB) proteins. The 7-bp deletion in GsERD15B promoter enhanced the salt tolerance of soybean, with increased up-regulation of GsERD15B, two GmPAB genes, the known stress-related genes including GmABI1, GmABI2, GmbZIP1, GmP5CS, GmCAT4, GmPIP1:6, GmMYB84 and GmSOS1 in response to salt stress. We propose that natural variation in GsERD15B promoter affects soybean salt tolerance, and overexpression of GsERD15B enhanced salt tolerance probably by increasing the expression levels of genes related to ABA-signalling, proline content, catalase peroxidase, dehydration response and cation transport.
