Abstract excerpt
The MLO gene family plays a critical role in plant-pathogen interactions, regulating susceptibility and resistance to fungal diseases. In this study, we performed a genome-wide characterization of the MLO genes in soybean (Glycine max), integrating structural analysis, phylogenetic classification, expression profiling, functional validation by virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS), and SNP mining. We identified 40...
