Soybean Mitogen Activated protein Kinases (MAPKs)

Glycine max roots have been either engineered to overexpress or undergo RNAi of mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs) that have been shown to function during the defense response it has to the plant parasitic nematode Heterodera glycines (McNeece et al. 2019). The appropriate pRAP15-ccdB overexpression and pRAP17-ccdB RNAi control experiments have also been performed. The pRAP15 overexpression plasmid has been presented (Matsye et al. 2012). The pRAP17 RNAi plasmid has been presented (Klink et al. 2009). The root tissue used in the analysis is uninfected root tissue. The overexpression experiments have been performed in the G. max genotype G. max[Williams 82/PI 518671]. The RNAi experiments have been performed in the G. max genotype G. max[Peking/ PI 548402].
