Identification and characterization of soybean phytochrome-interacting factors and their potential roles in abiotic stress
Abstract Phytochrome-interacting factors (PIFs) belong to a subfamily of the bHLH transcription factor family and play a pivotal role in plant light signal transduction, hormone signal pathways, and the modulation of plant responses to various abiotic stresses.The soybean (Glycine max) is a significant food crop, providing essential oil and nutrien
