Soybean is a crop sensitive to drought and salinity stress, so research on measures to improve drought and salinity tolerance of soybean is a matter of current concern. The DREB protein is a transcription factor that enhances the expression of genes related to drought and salinity tolerance in soybean; however, there are many DREB genes in soybean whose function is still unknown. This study aimed to create transgenic soybean plants to evaluate the role of the GmDREB7 gene on genes involved in the abiotic stress tolerance of soybean. The methods of genetic transformation, regeneration, in vitro selection and analysis of transgenic plants were used to create transgenic soybean plants for the functional study of the GmDREB7 gene. From 150 samples transformed with pZY102:GmDREB7A construct, 447 shoots were obtained, and 17 in vitro GmDREB7A transgenic plants were obtained after three screenings with phosphinothricin (ppt). In vitro cloning and selection of T0 plants by ppt obtained 8 soybean lines, denoted T0-1, T0-2, T0-3, T0-4, T0-5, T0-6, T07, T0- 8. Analysis of 8 lines of ppt-resistant soybeans in greenhouses by PCR resulted in 7 PCR-positive transgenic soybean lines (T0-1, T0-2, T0-3, T0-4, T0-5, T0-6, T07, T0-8). The GmDREB7A transgenic soybean lines continued to be monitored and analyzed in subsequent generations.
