Total RNA was extracted from the soybean leaves under the stress-treatment and unstressed using an RNA plant extraction kit (OMEGA, China) according to the manufacture’s instruction, and approximately 1 μg of purified total RNA was reverse transcribed to cDNA in a 20 μL reaction volume using AMV reverse transcriptase (Takara) according to the supplier’s instructions. To analyze the relative transcript levels of selected genes, real-time PCR was performed with specific primers according to the Bio-Rad Real-time PCR system (Foster city, CA, USA) and the SYBR Premix Ex II system (TakaRa Perfect Real Time). The qRT-PCR program was: 95 °C for 30 s;40 cycles of 95 °C for 5 s and 60 °C for 34 s; 95 °C for 15 s. The primers used for RT-PCR are listed in Additional file 4: Table S9.In each case, three technical replicates were performed for each of at least three independent biological replicates [31 (link)]. Quantities of standard RNA were prepared by diluting cDNA (1, 10− 1, 10− 2, 10− 3, 10− 4, and 10− 5) and only Ct values less than 40 were used to calculate correlation coefficients (R2 values) and amplification efficiencies (E) from the slope generated in Microsoft Excel 2013, based on the eq. E = [10−(1/slope) − 1] × 100%. All PCR assays showed efficiency values between 95% and 110% (Additional file 4: Table S9) [32 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
