Abstract:

Soybean is the important plant protein crop and grain-bean intercropping crop. Exploring the biological nitrogen fixation potential of soybean is of far-reaching significance to promote the sustainable development of ecological agriculture. GmNFR1α, a soybean nod factor receptor protein, is very important for nodulation, but its specific regulatory mechanism is still unclear. Soybean mRNA was used as template to amplify the kinase domain of GmNFR1α protein (GmNFR1α-pk) by RT-PCR method and the pGBKT7-GmNFR1α-pk bait plasmid was constructed. Seventy-two positive clones interacted with GmNFR1α-pk were isolated through yeast two hybrid screening of soybean nodule AD-cDNA library from the library. Among them, 12 proteins including calcium ion binding chiral protein, hemoglobin, nodulin Nod44 and other proteins interacted with GmNFR1α-pk were screened by sequencing and homology analysis. The interaction between soybean hemoglobin and bait protein was verified by re-transforming in yeast and BiFC in tobacco. Comparison of homologous proteins and phylogenetic tree analysis were also done at the same time. The important function of GmLbc2 in nodulation process was clarified by hairy root transformation technology in Lotus japonicus. The results further complement and improve the signal transduction pathway mediated by GmNFR1α, and provide new molecular evidence for the symbiotic interaction mechanism between soybean and rhizobia.

Key words: soybean, symbiotic nitrogen fixation, nod factor receptor protein, yeast two-hybrid, soybean hemoglobin
