摘要： Root architecture traits are belowground traits that harness moisture and nutrients from the soil and are equally important to above-ground traits in crop improvement. In soybean, the root length locus qRL16.1 was previously mapped on chromosome 16. The qRL16.1 has been characterized by transcriptome analysis of roots in near-isogenic lines (NILs), gene expression analysis in a pair of lines contrasting with alleles of qRL16.1, and differential gene expression analysis in germplasm accessions contrasting with root length. Two candidate genes, Glyma.16g108500 and Glyma.16g108700, have shown relatively higher expression in longer root accessions than in shorter rooting accessions. The C-terminal domain of Glyma.16g108500 and Glyma.16g108700 is similar to the conserved domain of C-terminally encoded peptides (CEPs) that regulate root length and nutrient response in Arabidopsis. Two polymorphisms upstream of Glyma.16g108500 showed a significant association with primary root length and total root length traits in a germplasm set. Synthetic peptide assay with predicted CEP variants of Glyma.16g108500 and Glyma.16g108700 demonstrated their positive effect on primary root length. The two genes are root-specific in the early stage of soybean growth and showed differential expression only in the primary root. These genes will be useful for improving soybean to develop a deep and robust root system to withstand low moisture and nutrient regimes.
