GmSK2-8: A GSK3-Like Kinase Inhibits Soybean Nodulation Under Salt Stress

GmSK2-8: A Key Regulator of Soybean Nodulation Under Salt Stress

This study sheds light on the function of GmSK2-8, a glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3)-like kinase, in the response of soybean (Glycine max) to salt stress during nodulation. We demonstrate that GmSK2-8 acts as a negative regulator of both symbiotic signaling and nodule formation under salt stress conditions. Our findings provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms by which legumes adapt to environmental stresses during symbiotic nitrogen fixation.
