Whole genome co-expression analysis of soybean cytochrome P450 genes identifies nodulation-specific P450 monooxygenases

Abstract Background Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) catalyze oxidation of various substrates using oxygen and NAD(P)H.Plant P450s are involved in the biosynthesis of primary and secondary metabolites performing diverse biological functions.The recent availability of the soybean genome sequence allows us to identify and analyze soybean putati
