Enhanced lignin and cellulose metabolism promote cell wall synthesis and growth of wild soybean HRA under alkali stress.

verall, protein decomposition and transport of amino acids and sucrose increased in wild soybean cotyledons under alkali stress, which in turn, promotes HRA growth. Similarly, lignin and cellulose synthesis in wild soybean HRA enhanced, which subsequently, enhanced cell wall synthesis, thereby maintaining the stability and functionality of HRA under alkali stress. This study presents important practical implications for the utilization of wild plant resources and sustainable development of agriculture.
