Transcriptomic analysis of soybean seedlings under salt treatment. A Numbers and Venn diagram B of differentially expressed genes (DEG) under salt treatment for 0 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h as compared to the transcript level at 0 h after salt treatment. (C-G) KEGG enrichment pathway analysis of DEGs under salt treatment for 6 h (C), 12 h (D), 24 h (E), 48 h (F), 72 h (G). The vertical axis indicates the pathway name, and the horizontal axis shows the Rich factor. The size of the rectangles represents the number of genes in the pathway and the color indicates q-value. KEGG analysis was performed based on the method as described by Kanehisa et al. [34, 35]. Soybean seedlings were exposed to the salt stress of 200 mM NaCl for 0 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h
