Genomics OF Root Nodulation In Soybean

  • Chapter
Genomics-Assisted Crop Improvement

Abstract

Soybean is a suitable crop material for studying root nodulation and full genome sequencing because of its economic value. This review introduces the “nodulation” phenomenon that occurs in legume root systems such as the soybean. In addition, the paper identifies and discusses nodulation mutants (e.g., non-nodulation, ineffective nodulation, and super-/hypernodulation) and the genetic loci that control nodulation. The advent of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc., has greatly contributed in improving our understanding of the symbiotic interactions between legume plants and Rhizobia, particularly for the identification of nodulation-related genes. Furthermore, molecular gene identification should be combined with biochemical pathways for nodulation in order to better understand the symbiotic interactions between legume and Rhizobia.
