Comparing Early Transcriptomic Responses of 18 Soybean (<i>Glycine max</i>) Genotypes to Iron Stress
Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) is an abiotic stress that negatively affects soybean (<i>Glycine max</i> [L.] Merr.) production. Much of our knowledge of IDC stress responses is derived from model plant species. Gene expression, quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, and genome-wide asso...

Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) is an abiotic stress that negatively affects soybean (<i>Glycine max</i> [L.] Merr.) production. Much of our knowledge of IDC stress responses is derived from model plant species.

Our current understanding of the molecular response to IDC in soybeans is largely derived from gene expression studies using near-isogenic lines differing in iron efficiency. To improve iron efficiency in soybeans and other crops, we need to expand gene expression studies to include the diversity present in germplasm collections.
