m6A sequencing reveals RNA methylation regulating soybean defense to Heterodera glycines.

This study sought to elucidate the mechanisms underlying resistance and susceptibility to soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines) race 4 in soybean breeding lines. By employing N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-seq and RNA-seq techniques, we explored the influence of m6A modification on gene expression and the elicitation of plant defense responses to nematode infection.
