Global climate change and associated adverse abiotic stress conditions, such as drought, salinity, heavy metals, waterlogging, extreme temperatures, oxygen deprivation, etc., greatly influence plant growth and development, ultimately affecting crop yield and quality, as well as agricultural sustainability in general. This study provides new insights into the analysis of the function of soybean genes in abiotic stress. Drought is one of the significant constraints that limit agricultural productivity. Some factors, including climate changes and acreage expansion, indicate the need for developing drought-tolerant Genotypes. Materials and methods: The study of the expression of Glutathione Reductase (GR) gene in soybean drought-tolerant and sensitive cultivars using real-time PCR. Seeds from (drought-sensitive) and (drought-tolerant) lines were planted under specific temperature conditions for drought stress treatment, in the research greenhouse of Islamic Azad University of Arak, Iran. Changes in gene expression compared to reference genes were recorded using the formula 2–ΔΔCT. Three technical replications were given for each cDNA sample related to each sampling and used to analyze test data from MINITAB16 software. Results: The results showed that the threshold expression of gene expression (Glutathione) in the Pyramid line had the highest expression of drought resistance and the lowest expression of the Glutathione Reductase gene belonging to the Will line. The theory is also true that chaperone proteins produced during the plant growth cycle are not destroyed to express the Glutathione Reductase gene. The expression cycle of the Glutathione Reductase gene shows that the proteins produced by this gene have a high rate of expression and increase in cell drought stress. This gene expression continues until the pressure ends. The results showed that lines and cultivars with a weak expression against drought stress could have a high expression at the beginning of drought stress but a decrease in gene expression rate during stress. Drought stress-sensitive lines have a decreasing expression in the middle and end of stress during the stress period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
