Genome-wide characterization of monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) gene family in soybean and functional analysis of GmMAGLs in storage lipid metabolism and drought resistance
This study represents the first comprehensive identification of 18 members of GmMAGL gene family in soybean. GmMAGL10 and 14 may impact seed oil content negatively while GmMAGL3 function importantly in seed germination. GmMAGL1/3/4/6/8/12 might confer drought tolerance by activating lipid metabolism in soybean seedlings. The present data establish a foundation for further elucidation of the biological functions of GmMAGL genes and provide valuable target genes for genetic improvement in soybean and other crops.
