Role of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases in partial resistance to Phytophthora sojae in soybean (Glycine max)

Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450) catalyze the conversion of biological compounds in a variety of metabolic pathways, such as the biosynthesis of alkaloids, terpenoids, phenylpropanoids, and hormones in plants. Plants rely on these metabolites for growth and defense against biotic and abiotic stresses. The objective of this research is to identify P450s present in soybean and analyze quantitative trait loci and transcriptomic studies in relation to P. sojae infection to identify P450s participating in resistance towards it. The findings of the CYPome study will provide novel insight into the functions of GmP450s and their involvement in metabolic pathways in soybeans.
