Transcriptomic dynamics in soybean near-isogenic lines differing in alleles for an aphid resistance gene following infestation by soybean aphid biotype 2

摘要

BackgroundGenetic resistance of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr] against Aphis glycines provides effective management of this invasive pest, though the underlying molecular mechanisms are largely unknown. This study aimed to investigate genome-wide changes in gene expressions of soybean near-isogenic lines (NILs) either with the Rag5 allele for resistance or the rag5 allele for susceptibility to the aphid following infestation with soybean aphid biotype 2.
