ABSTRACT Soybean (Glycine max) is an important crop for its nutritional value. Its wild relative, Glycine soja, provides a valuable genetic resource for improving soybean productivity. Root development and differentiation are essential for soybean plants to take up water and nutrients, store energy and anchor themselves.

Integrated Disease Management, Adaptation and Genomics of Fungal Plant Pathogens in Cropping Systems
Knowledge of the fungal genome and multifaceted evolutionary forces need to be considered together in understanding and managing agricultural plant pathogen adaptation relative to integrated disease management (IDM) strategies. ABSTRACT Crop production systems contribute significantly to maintaining global food security. These systems often involve the

The human intelligence evolved from proximal cis‐regulatory saltations
Abstract The divergence rate between the alignable genomes of humans and chimpanzees is as little as 1.23%. Their phenotypical difference was hypothesized to be accounted for by gene regulation. We construct the cis‐regulatory element frequency (CREF) matrix to represent the proximal regulatory sequences for each species.

Overexpression of the GmERF071 gene confers resistance to soybean cyst nematode in soybean
Abstract Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is one of the most harmful pests, causing major reductions in soybean yield globally. The validation and functional characterization of SCN resistance genes are crucial to improving soybean yield worldwide. Herein, we describe an SCN resistance gene, GmERF071 (Glyma.19g262700).

Activity and Silencing of Transposable Elements in C. elegans
Since the discovery of transposable elements (TEs) in maize in the 1940s by Barbara McClintock transposable elements have been described as junk, as selfish elements with no benefit to the host, and more recently as major determinants of genome structure
