GmERF109 Positively Enhances Soybean Resistance to Phytophthora sojae by Transcriptionally Activating GmG4DT‐Like to Promote Glyceollin I Accumulation

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
GmERF109 is strongly induced in P. sojae‐resistant but not susceptible soybeans. GmERF109 functions as a nuclear AP2/ERF transcription factor, P. sojae directly binding the GCC‐box to activate GmG4DT‐like expression. The GmERF109–GmG4DT‐like module enhances glyceollin I accumulation for soybean resistance to P. sojae.

A Phytophthora effector hijacks host StKNOX3‐StHUB1/2 complex to reprogram defense gene expression via histone monoubiquitination

The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 5, September 2026.
SUMMARY KNOX (KNOTTED1‐like HOMEOBOX) transcription factors regulate the expression of genes involved in plant growth, development, and immunity by specifically binding to DNA elements. Previously, we found that the Phytophthora infestans RxLR effector Pi22798 targets the potato transcription factor StKNOX3 to promote colonization.

An Integrated BAC and Genome Sequence Physical Map of Phytophthora sojae

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2006
Phytophthora spp. are serious pathogens that threaten numerous cultivated crops, trees, and natural vegetation worldwide. The soybean pathogen P. sojae has been developed as a model oomycete. Here, we report a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC)-based,

The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

iMeta, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial

Decoding stress resilience in soybean: Regulatory networks and precision breeding under climate change

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2838-2868, August 2026.
This review covers recent progress in the understanding of stress‐responsive regulatory networks in soybean and highlights emerging genomic and breeding strategies. Integrating molecular insights and precision breeding will help to accelerate the development of climate‐resilient soybean cultivars.

The Repertoire of Transfer RNA Genes Is Tuned to Codon Usage Bias in the Genomes of Phytophthora sojae and Phytophthora ramorum

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2006
In all, 238 and 155 transfer (t)RNA genes were predicted from the genomes of Phytophthora sojae and P. ramorum, respectively. After omitting pseudogenes and undetermined types of tRNA genes, there remained 208 P. sojae tRNA genes and 140 P.

Decoding MAPK cascades in plant immunity: Activation, regulation, integration, and pathogen manipulation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 3000-3024, August 2026.
This review focuses on mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation and summarizes how plants regulate and integrate MAPK signaling in modulating plant immune responses. It also examines the effectors pathogens have evolved to manipulate MAPK activation and thereby inhibit plant immunity.

Metabolomics Analysis of Soybean Hypocotyls in Response to Phytophthora sojae Infection

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Soybean is one of the most important economic and oil crops across the world. Phytophthora root rot (PRR), caused by Phytophthora sojae (P. sojae), is a major disease in most soybean-growing regions worldwide.

A Rare Recombination in the Phytophthora sojae Genome Allows the Redefinition of a Major Avirulence Gene

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Reassessment of the identity of the avirulence gene corresponding to the soybean resistance gene Rps6. From a large natural population of Phytophthora sojae, a rare recombination between two effectors was found and investigated. ABSTRACT Significant yield losses in soybean production are imputable to Phytophthora root and stem rot (PRR) caused by ...

Enzymatic oxidation of galacturonides from pectin breakdown contributes to stealth infection by Oomycota phytopathogens

Nature Communications
Phytophthora phytopathogens from Oomycota cause devastating crop losses and threaten food security. However, Phytophthora secreted proteins that interact with plant-hosts remain underexplored.
