Diversifying Selection on Flavanone 3-Hydroxylase and Isoflavone Synthase Genes in Cultivated Soybean and Its Wild Progenitors

Soybean isoflavone synthase (IFS) and flavanone 3-hydroxylase (F3H) are two key enzymes catalyzing the biosynthesis of isoflavonoids and flavonoids, both of which play diverse roles in stress responses. However, little is known about the evolutionary pattern of these genes in cultivated soybean and...
