“The Circular Dance of Resilience: Unraveling the Regulatory Roles of circRNAs in Abiotic Stress Tolerance of Soybean”

Introduction:

Soybean (Glycine max) stands as one of the world's foremost crops, contributing significantly to global food and protein production. However, the agricultural landscape is continually challenged by various abiotic stresses, including drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures, which compromise soybean yield and quality. In the face of these challenges, understanding the molecular mechanisms that govern stress responses and tolerance in soybean is paramount for developing resilient cultivars that can thrive under adverse environmental conditions.

The last decade has witnessed a burgeoning interest in non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) as crucial players in the regulation. . .
